Thanks mates for your comments and sympathy. I still feel the emotional pain after all these years of what happened to me and my family in those dreadful days. Never did I dream that my dear young Mum (age 42) would be a war victim on the brink of my return from Germany. Curiously she lost a brother in WW1. Alexander Middleton was a Scottish soldier captured in 1917 and died in hospital as a PoW.
Another posting or two and I'll be finished.
