My grandad had a few from WWII but I never quite knew what they were for. I remember some of the stories he told me such as being the first allies walking into Frankfurt which was totally flattened and people coming out of the their cellars and starting to cheer as they walked down the streets. After the war he was based up in north Germany rounding up the local Nazi dignitaries for prosecution (they were barracked in a brewery which he quite enjoyed.) When he joined the Army he had the misfortune of the army getting his name wrong and all his paperwork was in the name of Jimmy Riddell which caused him some problems, luckily he was an army champion boxer. A few years ago he was admitted to Chelsea Hospital and became the oldest person to be admitted as a Chelsea Pensioner. Sadly he died this year as he was a great old chap There quite a few people there including Diane Abbott and a few top politicians.)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
