  • probably my favourite video of yours i've seen thus far. you have a wonderful story-telling manner and i genuinely love your videos and get so excited when i see you've put up a new video. As long as you like to put up videos, I love to watch and listen. I would love to know if you have any grandchildren Peter

  • @ysyp2 Yes I have two grandsons aged 21 and 23.

  • Peter, at that time we lived close by at Gorse Rd., but bearing in mind that I was only 4 when the war ended, I was not aware of these events. My mother told me that when I was still a small baby, a German fighter unexpectedly swooped down machine gunning over Thorpe when she stood by the back door holding me in her arms on a nice summer day. Apparently one of the bullets embedded itself in the door frame, missing my head by just a couple of inches.

  • @derekcolman Seems that we did live in the same area. Thanks for that comment. I too remember going to school through the town trough the bombed streets and the street being machine gunned. Kinda scary!!

  • Peter, I love listening to you talk. Your stories are great, I hope you will continue to post them for years to come!

  • Hi Peter. What a wonderful breath of fresh air to watch your videos on here! So many times I find vulgarity. swearing, violence etc etc on youtube. It's really lovely to hear your stories - please don't stop! From Jack aged 13 years.

  • i am confused...was he injured and died in your arms?

  • @geriatric1927 they must be proud to have a computer wiz gramps! :)

  • You're such an incredible storyteller. I could listen to you forever!

  • What a thrill it was to watch you tell these stories four years ago, and now I find myself spellbound again...

  • Peter very good story some people do not realize how much our animals go through during war time I love all of your stories please keep up the good work I am working on something like this with my grandmother she is 98 years old and it's always good to learn our past
