My uncle was in the Navy during WW2, Arthur Hopkins, we even still have his Navy book where he had to sign the chapters he was required to read. What’s bizarre is the book was made water proof so it looks like it’s just a week old. I remember my Aunt telling me when he left his hair was jet black, when he came back it was white. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in the 1980s
I simply can’t imagine going toe to toe with the japanese navy at almost point blank range.
Guns, planes, shrapnel, blown apart bodies, sinking ships...I can’t imagine the horror.
No wonder his hair turned white..
