mum and dad never talked about the war either except mum wanted to be a land girl and wasn't allowed to because she was too  young oh and neighbours whole family was bombed  and killed when she went to check on  a neighbour - dad never talked about it but he did mention Africa once  and my dad's older brother was killed at sea  and is mentioned in Tower Hill - he was very young about 18 and had replaced somebody - he should have been off duty- think it was when Churchill died that they mentioned it and I was only young
