I Done the Best I Could!

I done the best I could and tried to... as I say, you know, we thought we could go over there and finish it off in one day but it didn’t work that way but propaganda I guess, you know, especially I guess when you’re young you believe all of it and it gives you encouragement. I wouldn’t want to go through it again but I’m glad I went through it. Let’s put it down to experience. You grow up pretty fast. I always say everybody should spend a year in the army but, you know, with our rights and whatnot I don’t know if it helps that much either now. They got so many rights. When we were in the army they said jump and we asked how high. But now they have got so many rights, it’s a different world and we got to accept it and make the best of it. I think more than anything is when we went to Dieppe and to the cemetery like I knew a lot of the SSR’s, South Saskatchewan Regiment, that were buried there and a father with two or three children, he left those at home and Bill Knight was his name and ya there were quite a few I knew. Ya, that’s the sad part. It’s hard to explain but I think it’s wonderful the way they are trying to keep it up, you know, not let them know they done it for nothing.
