It was great to read about the quest and the closure.All those that did their bit on Rootschat deserve an accolade at least.
What makes me so sad is the way person's in the Armed Forces kept on going back,again,and again.
That takes courage,once youv'e experienced the nasty bit's.
So young,so determined,so short a life.

It's impossible to imagine how they COULD keep going back once they knew what it was like. I have to admit it makes me angry today when it all seems to have been for nothing. The world as a whole doesn't seem to have learnt anything from previous wars, and it so oftens seems as if the men and women who died and suffered did so in vain :'( I do feel very strongly that we have to honour their memory because at least they tried.

Edit: Just re-read that, and although I know what I mean, I'm not sure I've made a great job of putting it into words.

Evening all

I found a photo of Jose (nee Hicken, formerly Moss) Johnston and her second husband Bob with their granddaugher Zoe taken in 1979 and added to my website if anyone is interested.
