Sorry to hear that Ted, my family seems to have been lucky. Except Great Uncle John who was torpedoed on a merchant vessel off the Bahamas. I'd forgotten about him.Being German, my family was being shot at for ages resulting in our family tree being severely pruned. We have literally no generation - except my father's/mother's one - that lost less than half of the men in war.
Lets hope the future is better for all our families.
