Mr. Romanow reflects on the worst parts of war, for him and his wife.
Transcription
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 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.
