How heart breaking for that poor mother.<br />Tim's Great Grandfather meet and married the love of his life while injured in WW1. She took him home to Ireland they married and he returned to Australia 5 years later with Tim's grandfather.

My husband comes from an 'army' family and I understand your 'gentle steering' of your son away from the same. I drop many subtle hints to mine that I don't think it would be the life for him.
