Grieving for troops’ families
• I AM 83 years old. In World War Two the man who was to become my husband had a below-knee amputation in Italy, courtesy of a German machine-gun.
My brother fought in Italy, My younger brother died in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, my stepbrother, in the Military Police, died escorting a convoy.
I would like to know what troops other than British are fighting in Afghanistan, for we only hear of the British casualties in the front line.
If the Americans have plenty of helicopters spare, would they give them to us, as we always seem to be short of everything with our government.
I have had my life. I grieve for my husband, who died in 2008 aged 85. I grieve more for our babies who will never know their dads and for all the families left bereft.
