And this story comes from Norn, and Norn writes, Dad was your classic, humble, intelligent British gentleman.
He struggled with taking any lives.
He would never ever even raise a hand to his children.
But he was patriotic and never shirked his duty.
He went from being a rugger blue, dark of course, to being a schoolmaster and moved to Sedburgh School as a house tutor, geography teacher, and sports coach.
From there he joined the Border Regiment and fought his war in Burma.
At some stage he became a major and was sent on a mission where he was, I think, the only one to survive, but he was very badly injured by an exploding bullet that ripped his thigh muscle away and left him with what he called a gammy leg.
He was told it had to be amputated if he was to survive.
He was in the jungle on his own, badly wounded, and could move only by crawling on his elbows, hiding when he thought he heard anyone.
