I went out for a fag, still deep in thought about Armistice Day. I suddenly realised how lucky I am. Lucky that those people I am closest to, and who are younger than me, did not have to go through the terrible ordeal of being called up and sent to war. It's a sobering thought.
As for myself it wouldn't matter in the least if I were called up. I'm on my own. However I'm so clumsy with things and it takes me a while to get used to new gadgets, apart from which my mind is often elsewhere. I don't think I'd be much use to man or beast. Besides I'm far too old for all that now.
