Memories of Service 5 - Joan Daniel
Web (Full Length Episode) – 2017
For the first few months [near Cairo] I think it was work hard all day and go out every night. And it was great.– Joan Daniel
We all got in a hospital train which was going right across Italy to Caserta, which was not far from Naples and a bit too close to Cassino.– Joan Daniel
We had one person in the ward…he’d definitely been shell-shocked. He’d speak if you gave him an outright question about his meal or something. But all he said, all day, was ‘Hi ho Silver.’ And I couldn’t help thinking all the time: that poor boy’s mother.– Joan Daniel
