hi jenny...what gets me is how their minds must have been affected by 6 years of worry..stress..and going without....the loss of loved ones..the list is endless. well over 6 years really as it was not easy for a few years after the war had ended...think i may have mentioned this some time ago on another thread but when our dad was doing his window cleaning in the late 40s he pulled one of his women customers from the house..she was trying to gas herself in the oven.....got a couple of children too.....do you know she never spoke to him after that..she just left the money for the windows on the sill outside and no more cups of tea....i often wonder if the war years had caused her to want to take her life.....so sad i think....
