My father-in-law was there and carried shrapnel in his back until the day he died.
He told me more about what happened there than he ever told his daughter or his son.
My wife was astonished that he opened up to me as he had never wanted to talk about the war.
Unimaginable cold and millions of Chinese troops pouring across the border. Constant mortar and artillery fire.
It’s a war that’s been forgotten, but what these men did should never be forgotten.
I read The Boys of Autumn 15 years ago. Fictionalized but otherwise accurate. Horrifying. Should be a mandatory read before being allowed to vote.
