From: david@researchcentre3.demon.co.uk After Reading Melvyn Bragg's excellent autobiographical accounts of his father's return from WWII, 'The Soldier's Return' and 'a Son of War,' I would like to hear from the children of WWII survivors, in Britain, and hear about their experiences. For example, the strain upon the family of getting to know someone that had been gone for so many years, must have been a very hard experience for such children; not to mention the difficulties faced by the returning fathers themselves - after everything they had been through and witnessed. I feel that this is an area that is often neglected in histories of WWII, and believe that these real stories are often more important than the chronology of events, for they humanise the events; they tell us of the legacy of 39-45, and how it effected the lives of those involved for years to come. I appreciate any responses to this request. Thank you for your time. David Torbet.
