Evening Press Reader's Letter
With reference to David Quarrie's letter headed "Fighting Talk" (Letter, January 5): how many world wars does it take before he and his like learn that there are no winners in war, only losers?
I lost six years of my youth, my brother lost his life. My father served his country for 26 years and three wars. He got nothing for winning, only old age and poverty.
The Britain you speak of may have won, Mr Quarrie, but what does Britain mean? I think it means the British people and every one of them lost years of life.
Grow up, lad!
