My father was born during WWII. His father – Alfred Wyles – joined the British Army in 1940 and as a frontline infantrymzn – was encouraged to get married and have children as soon as possible. No one knew at the time how long the war would last – so there was an element of preparing for the future. My Dad was born on May 28th, 1941 to his Irish mother (Gladys Kllmurrey) – in an Army Barracks in Lincolnshire. His father was training at the time for D-Day. The thinking was that if the war went on for decades – my Dad would grow up, reproduce and become a soldier – and do on. Today, despite having to exist in an uncaring system – my father has made it to “84”- despite many set-backs and hurdles. At this age – every day is precious. Still, we look forward with strength and determination. We will face the arrows and slingshots of destiny – and we will not flinch.
