Mick, this is an incredible story--and you're a fantastic storyteller. The empathy and details (your grandmother eating corn flakes with lukewarm coffee poured over while she chain smoked! the Grocers grabbing chocolate as they destroyed equipment and supplies before the encroaching German forces!) made me relive it with you as you discovered what happened to your great-uncle. As a historian and storyteller, I thank you for engaging and moving us with this, and I look forward to more fantastic writing and storytelling from you in the future!
