War story (or letter...or something)

VERY moving...don't worry about the spelling and grammar, that's what editors are for . I had a grandfather who was a field medic in WWII. Feel free to check out his memoirs here: http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7047

I believe 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' was originally written and performed by Eric Bogle, an amazing songwriter. I love the Pogues version though, and that is the one that I heard first.

thanks for the link - saved it for reading in peace later
oh, thanks for comment as well

Let me know when you are done with the reading...many members have found it fascinating.

What a very touching story that brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing that with us.

thanks for your comment Montana
And, yes cavfancier, I will - probably on original topic...

I can't even imagine living in a war-torn country.
It is certainly beyond the realm of my experience, as I hope it stays. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm glad you are okay.

Your story is touching, heartbreaking and very well written. Thank-you for sharing, Ceili.

thanks to both of you...
