On this day of remembrance, would any of you care to share the stories of your family members' involvement with either/both of the two World Wars that humanity has so far managed to inflict up itself? What side were they on, where were they fighting, was their involvement good or bad, sad or lucky? Let us know so we can share in remembering that real people gave their lives for the rest of us to be here today.
My grandad was in the Parachute Regiment during WWII.
Among other things, he jumped out of a plane as part of Operation Overlord, specifically to help reinforce the boys who had taken Pegasus Bridge a short while before.
Don't know about WWI, I'll have to look into it.
