 Mike Tindall - zippy
>>Aged 18 my old man was on Arctic Convoys to Murmansk & Archangel seeing his fellow >>Merchant Mariners go down, or up if they were on ammunitions boats, with their ships.

There are some astonishingly brave people and normal people that find themselves in extraordinary situations - heroes all.

I know that I have mentioned it here before, but a good tale and all that...

Mrs Z's grandad joined the Black Watch in WW1 aged 14 or 15, lying about his age. The recruitment staff and army must have known he was underage, the photos of him at the time showed a malnourished twig of boy from Elgin.

He was sent to France and was found shot and half dead after a battle, by some nuns, who hid him from the Germans and nursed him back to health.
