Wander00, I think I did, some time ago.


Like many of his generation, Grandad Steve didn't say much about his service.


Once he spoke about entering houses that had been near a bombing (and presumably a firestorm), and finding people, for example, sat frozen around the dining room table, dead through oxygen starvation.


He told the St Thomas Hospital story a few times as he had to explain that the glass windows and doors of the hospital blew in, a fraction of a second before he followed.
