I was desperate to play and spend some time with him.

He just could not bring himself to say yes.

Can only begin to imagine the hurt this must have caused him.

He's not a cruel man, and I know he loved me.

I often think of him alone in the jungle, carving chess pieces with a blunt field knife, surrounded by madness and worry and war.

I don't know how I feel about this because the war was horrible and did nothing but destroy lives.

But

I'm bloody proud of my grandfather.

And I love him very much.

I hope that you have enjoyed his story.

Oh, thank you, Mitchell.

That's a very moving reflection on your grandfather and on the war's effect on him.

Um, thanks for sharing that with us.

Well, a huge thank you to our contributors today, Will Norn, Mitchell, Stewart.
