A second cousin of mine was a Dambuster, Hopgood's navigator if you read the book, was shot down, captured after a few days, spent the rest of the war in prison camp, lived until 1960 but still the war killed him. One grandfather was a runner for Roberts in the South African war, was first of the relief column inside the gates of Mafeking, the Queen gave him a piece of Alberta for it. Several great-uncles lost in and battered by the Great War, later named the First. Many other examples...... One of our school trustees here was a Free Pole pilot for the RAF, flew a Spitfire after the Battle of Britain, '41-'44. His close friend here (and drinking buddy at the Legion) flew an ME 109 among other aircraft and lost the majority of his family from Allied bombing. One of my clients here knows people who lost family in the Ruhr Valley in the Dambuster raid, there were many thousands killed, and my second cousin helped to accomplish this. Another Free Pole who emigrated to this area after the war learned after seven years here (about 1956) that one guy whose farm he passed on the way to town was a Canadian with whom he had for a day and a half shared a hole in the ground on the hillside of Monte Cassino. So........... as survivors, have we learned anything?
