Geriaviator (pp Rupert Parkhouse),
...What a pity our two nations are fighting again...
Curiously enough, my Dad said almost the same of WWI: "We were fighting the wrong people !"

Really, Rupert must stop blaming himself for the fact that they were where they were. The Fortunes of War, old chap ! They were alive, weren't they ? Many were not. What had they to moan about ?

Nice to hear the chivalrous way their captors treated them. (But that Major's * wife must've had a hard time).

EDIT: * Hauptmann = Captain (3 pips), I think, Rupert

Compliments of the Season to all PPRuNers !

Danny.
