I've told this story a million times on these forums, but just to keep this respectful thread going....:

Great Uncle - Served in North Africa and Greece with his brother (My Grandfather) infantry man....Don't know much else more....He died, I'm not exactly sure how.

Grandfather - Captured in Greece and Shot in the foot by a guard in a prison camp, when he thought he was trying to escape. Still alive.

Adopted Great Uncle - Lied about his age, fought in the famed Maori Battalion at Monte Cassino....Just got in as he was half maori. Buried in Italy.
