but being a Soldier's Mother or Father has to be much harder especially for those that lose children to War
Sas, you just made me reflect on what it must have taken my parents to see me go and do my bit 18 months after my brother lost his in a fire fight. Not a word was ever said as to reconsider going. Both had lived through WWII, Mum evacuated from New Guinea when the Japs marched in and the Old Fella stayed till the day it was all over.
