"We were there, we saw it", a sometimes exasperated cry.  They bore the burden, they deserve full credit, the sands and the mud will not swallow all.

Here is a collection of stories  - some history, personalities and anecdotes   - from the men and women who were there in the war.   Humorous, sad, pathetic, brave and all very real.
