All came back safely, but they would not talk about thier experiences either. I have photos from my brother's experience in the Fleet Airm Arm but that's all.

As a child, the words: <br />"The little ships, the little ships went out across the sea... to save the luckless army from death and slavery" touched into my very soul. <br />Maybe the child I was got the words wrong but, no worries, the sentiment came through perfecly.
