I guess he was one of the lucky ones. After he recoperated he was sent to Northern Ireland, where he met my Grand Mother. Both of them lived a long and forfilling life together. From their union there are close to 70 direct decendants.

Just thinking about the sacrifices made by young people like your Grand Uncle is enough to make my eyes water. We owe them (and the young men and women who are making those sacrifices today) our eternal gratitude.
