Miss her.
This is me teaching my grandma to shoot a rifle for the first time in her life.
We had to put her oxygen tank to the side.
She loved it a little too much. 😂
@sinbach precious memory building
@Berrybunchfamily it really was.
@sinbach my grandad never said much of the war
But he amazed me with the little he rarely said
Watching Ghandi (the film) "oh, my grandad was his bodyguard" the room was a bit stinned
While looking at the man, with thick glasses, shaky hands, and watching a war film "I used to win awards for my unit in sniper competitions" another stunned room
Captured by the Japanese in Burma. Stripped and told there were no bars, just jungle. So he legged it and escaped
The generation above us did amazing things for us.
I only hope our children will be able to say the same of us!
What a precious memory you have
I've never shot a gun in the UK. my Jo has...SA80 when she she in the territorial army, and pistols when she applied for the armed police...she came back every day with a huge grin on her face...I still remember the smell of gun oil...
Your memory sparked good memories for me too 🙂
@sinbach You have the memory and a photo, it's not the same, but the love remains. God bless.
@sinbach Oxygen tank out in front lets you know in a spectacular way when you hit the target! 😂
@sinbach So cool. This scene had to have crossed your minds.
