Keep in mind Tabs that my Grandfather never spoke a word about the war, it had to be dragged out of him and as a grandchild, he NEVER spoke to me about it.
The exact order of the accounts may be a bit off, realize as well that the author of that is also dead now dying last year. So his recollections of the stories may have faded with time. I am just glad he wrote them down at one point. These were stories I never heard until I read them.
My grandfathers attitude toward his service in the war was just that, service. He served his nation to help it through a battle and once it was over it was behind him. He never looked back.
