Memories of the War
The most difficult thing for me in the, probably in the war was
returning back to your tent or your basha at night and the padre
comes around to collect the personal effects of the chap who
slept in the next bunk or two bunks over to send back to the
next of kin. That's when it hit you. It could be you. But, I
don't know, you know, those things, you just didn't stop to think
about it, they passed quickly. My wife, who was an operating
room nurse in the main Canadian army hospital in Bramshot in
Surrey, talks about when the casualties start coming back
after D-Day, and they were flooded with casualties, seeing what
war did to the human body, she said it changed her, but I just
sincerely hope that we never live through it again because I know
that we're losing troops today, and it's... probably is no
different than losing troops when I was in the forces,
and it's, it's a difficult thing.
