'Press those men and they looked at us through rheumy, shuttered eyes and said, "We fought because we had to, it was as simple as that for most of us," and, my father's father added, "Heroics were commonplace. But no more questions. Go outside and play." I still remember the times they stood by the gate and watched us bat and bowl until it was too dark to see.' Brian E. Turner - Memories of war. 25 April, 2008
