Once you join the military, you can never go back to being a civilian again.

What you will realise is you’ll never be normal again.

Finally after four years abroad, back to the UK, a wedding and release from the RAF. Along the way he was blown up, bombed, burnt, and ill.He was not one of the commanders, or the shooting and bombing action heroes. He was responsible for the transport that contributed to everything else being possible.
