During WW2 my Grandmother had six sons serving in the Army, one being my Father. She gave an interview to the Liverpool Evening Express in 1940 and they reported she had six sons in the army and a Boy Scout. Many mothers had six sons serving and perhaps we should have asked them what stress was like. I wondered why the Express thought it was significant to mention a son in the boy scouts, it was because of their national war service.

God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

Me neither Mike, didn't really know what they got up to, only looked because of the mention in the paper.
