I guess he was a fit and strong young man and they perhaps thought he was older. The bit I really don't get is that he already had all his brothers fighting, surely a family deserves a break and can keep one son safe - obviously not!Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519427492100090401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-89539003730879183592009-04-07T17:38:00.000+12:002009-04-07T17:38:00.000+12:00How could someone send him white feather as an act...How could someone send him white feather as an act of cowardice when by law he was just not able to fight.mr-stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989666907398725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-47447243044999677792009-04-07T02:05:00.000+12:002009-04-07T02:05:00.000+12:00What a mysterious story.

So many times , in the military, young men and women die and the reasons behind it are hushed up. <BR/><BR/>I remember seeing a TV movie with Carol Burnett, who played a mother who son was killed in Vietnam and the cause was never disclosed. Turns out the boy was killed by "friendly fire." <BR/><BR/>That was new to me, that your own troops could accidentally kill you.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully with a little digging, your son can find out what happened.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.com
