My father and his identical twin brother Albert (Bert)were part of the famous "Rats of Tobruk" who helped repel the advancing German troops during World War 2.
My father carried his beloved brother from the battlefield after traumatic head injuries, from which he never regained consciousness. His twin brother is buried in a carefully maintained cemetery in Libya. My father remained emotionally scarred from his war experiences.
I hate war, and all that it does to people.
