Thank you all, Gentlemen, for putting me right (I bow my head in shame !).
Have been shot at myself once or twice in my time, so wouldn't dispute that, (and I suppose one bullet feels much like another when it hits you, whoever has fired it).
But still, as I said: "when would he have been
"almost starving to death" ? When was he captured, and by whom ? (I know Service rations are not always
cordon bleu, but...")..... Bit of D.T. hype ?
Changing the subject, now that we have a new Day to celebrate annually, it won't be long until before we're all sending each other "Happy Armed Forces Day" Cards !
Danny.
