[303rd-Talk] Leaves

[rex pearce]

Firstly, may I extend to all members of this talk forum
our best wishes for a happy and peaceful Christmas,
and a good and healthy New Year.
With regard to overseas service in the armed forces
there were a great many, mainly in the army, who
served overseas for six years with no home leave. I refer
of course to H,M. Forces.Post-war, men returned to
broken marriages, children who did not know them,
and many complications.
Practically the first victim of any conflict is normal
humanity and usual regard for others.
Rex and Norma Pearce
