Absolutely amazing story ! My mother used to look after his wife “letty” Many years ago. And I remember going round their house with my mum as a very small boy. Interestingly, my mother was cooking something the other day and the smell reminded me of what she cooked at their house one day for them. It brought back memories of jock and letty. Which then me and my mum spoke about, which led me to research this. Funny how a simple smell can bring back a memory that leads to an interesting journey. What a pleasure it was to hear his amazing story. Thank you for posting the video.
Enjoyed every minuet of that. A true Hero of his time so understated.
I really don't understand youtube. How does such a marvellous story only get 7 likes? Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you, yes, indeed we are proud of our uncle. Glad you enjoyed it, and do tell others about it.
