Interesting to read in the Gazette (May 23) one page regarding a man, 93, who as a teenager served in the Second World War having terrifying experiences, together with many other young men who unfortunately did not return.

Then on another page an account of

damage to a nursery forest school by vandals

for the third time.

I wonder how these vandals would have coped with what our young men had to face during those war years?

If lucky enough to survive, they would have returned to a country damaged by war, with no counselling, just hard work to regain their lives. I dread to think.
