Royalistflyer (your #54),
...My father was an Army officer who, despite being Artillery, spent most of his time in a jeep with a big machine gun behind enemy "lines" (actually non-existent). I got virtually nothing out of him other than overhearing one story of his duelling with a disabled enemy submarine which had a much bigger deck gun than his...
Combined Operations ? What a story is here !
... I also overheard that his brother was killed not by the Germans but by the Americans attacking our lines in the night...
Blue on blue. There has never been a war in which this has
not happened - and never will be. Sad but unavoidable.
