A few details about myself,I am 82 years young,retired at 77years and now enjoy being a columnist although I have not contributed much so far,and bye the way i am English.
I am married and my wife is a young bird 76 years and we are in our 57th year of marriage.
We started early as she was 11 years old and I was 15 because my sister married her brother and in the early days we used to wrestle over comics (we got off over doing this which we did not admit until many years later as it was not the done thing in our days),We spent a lot of time together in air raid shelters with the womenfolk as the bombing was very ferocious.
I was called into the Army at 18 years and served with The British Army and also with the Indian in Burma and also sometime with Vinegar Joe Stilwells American Forces where the fighting and conditions were horrendous but the comradeship of all nations were unbelievable.
I arrived back home in 1947 and the reason for being late after the war finished is that I joined one of the searcher teams looking for evidence as to the fate of 330,000 prisoners of War and Civilian Internees missing believed killed.
I married in 1947 and we have 4 children and now are looking for things to do and probably bring a little joy or comfort to our correspondents
