   I met one at  a rememberance day parade in Derbyshire many years   
   ago. He had been wounded and taken prisoner at Monte Cassino   
    and as POW had been working on local farms where developed   
   an attachment to a  local girl.   
      
   After the war he settled in Chesterfield and always attended remberance   
   day services wearing his beret. The other WW2 veterans there knew and   
   liked the man as did I. He used to get very angry about how his comrades   
   had been sacrificied by  'those Nazi gangsters'
