I'm in New Zealand. My dad and his best friend went to north Africa, Libya and Italy and had a much easier time than many. I've a photo somewhere my aunty took off then coming off the troopship when they arrived home. I can't believe how thin they were, not like photos I've seen of Japanese pow etc but barely recognizable. They married sisters they had met before the war so his best mate became my uncle. Sometimes I feel guilty for the easy life I've had thanks to them and others who've done those yards.

My only known blood relative to have died in World War 1 was William Kennedy of Dumbartonshire, Scotland, who was shot by a Turkish sniper while preparing his tea on the beach at Gallipoli. That's the story that has been passed down in the family. William was an older cousin to my mother.

I have a nephew who plays guitar. He can make you cry when he sings this.
