On the anniversary of D-Day I posted a thread about my maternal grandfather's service in the RAF. He survived but many of his friends did not. For #RemembranceSunday I am posting... 1/3
... this heartbreaking letter he received telling him that two of his closed friends had died. Fred had been on leave visiting his new baby and on his return found that a weather crew had been lost without trace.
"yes I am afraid what you have heard is only too horribly true..."

Nobody comes through war unscathed. By definition, we only get to meet the survivors, but every small act of remembrance makes a difference.
My grandparents all served in WW2 and none had a good word to say about war. Another reason to remember, in case we are tempted again 3/3
