#1 Nobody does obituaries like the UK Telegraph.

#2 I meet my Father for breakfast almost every saturday, and he is a WW2 and Korea Marine Corps vet. For the past 20 or so years that I have been doing that, I have seen many WW2 vets go off to retire out west. Many of these guys had amazing stories like this one too... They tell the stories as if they can barely remember, and leave out the most interesting deatils, which you have to ask about later; things like: "so you're telling me that you accidentally killed 20 germans with a truck? Yep."

Heroes all.
