    Yes, @gundoc...we must not forget that there were many who had survived the war to came back determined for our country never to see nor become what they saw...they had a country to help build, to get on with the job, bridges to span and onwards and upwards...I always think about the guy whose job it was to haul in the canvas tent ...and for certain they and private cullers carried .303s...afterall some had been using them for four years to great effect...and how rationing influenced things would be interesting to know...
    ...amitie, respect mutuel et amour...

    ...le beau et le bon, cela rime avec Breton!...
