Link 95 reminded me of the father of an old friend who served in the 8th Army in 1944.
I well known actor was on the television, and as we were watching ‘dad’ said that he really disliked the man.
Why we asked, and were told that he was his commanding officer at one stage and had him on a ‘fizzer’. He told the actor his alibi, with witnesses to prove it. ‘Dad’ was told that the actor thought it a pack of lies and he was disciplined.
I asked ‘dad’ if he had done it, and was told that of course he had done it, but he had 3 of his mates to say that he hadn’t!
