Hi Terry. Thank you very much for your kind comments on World Cup Widow. I took the opportunity to check your Web: poetrypoem.com/smallsteps You have some wonderful work on there. 'Trenches' has the ability to bring a tear to your eye and I could relate to 'Dartmoor - to make or break' with visions of military training and the Ten Tors. You have a great body of work there. Many of them would be good to see and share in your blog here. Great stuff.

Thank you for your service. My late father was stationed in London throughout the Second World War with the OSS, and the city's bombing. He said his handprints were on every sidewalk of London. He asked me once if I understood how Britain survived the war, and when I was silent, said, "because the whole People are valiant."
