nice stuff VC, btw did your granddad fight in the WWII??
we weren't on that war since we had just our civil war, but I suppose if we hadn't we surely had allied with Germany and Italy!both my grandads were rivals on Spanish civil war hehehehe odd!

he didn't ever tell me about it... he was born in 1928, he was 17 when the war finally ended. i know he fought somewhere, but don't ask me when and where. my grand aunt was evolved in medical services in france, though...

When I remember all war movies (Black Hawn Down recently) the modern life seems to become easier, in comparison. So, reading the short comment about WWII, I felt as a man forced to work and survive in the middle of a war, where you cannot think or worry 'bout your happiness but your trouble is just save your life and endure the horrors and pain!! Jups, these were scary thoughts, indeed. The last pics of VC inspired me these unchupi thoughts, despite the first were wonderful ones.
I know my grandfather was a "rojo" (the contemptuous name for the ppl on the side of the republic in our civil war), and he was affiliated to some organizations against the dictatorship. But he never took a gun. And my grandmother told me about the hungry years, where ppl needed "rationing cards" to buy some food.
The times have changed, indeed.

grandfathers:
my father's father left the police when fascism brought italy to war. a trace of hernia granted him the benefit to stay in the barracks here in italy instead of going to the frontline. afterwards, he joined the anti-dictatorship forces and helped doing away with the old regime. he's obviously quite proud of that.
my mother's father i have never met, because he left his family when my mother was fourteen, running away with another woman or something. he was in the army and died some years ago, without ever showing up again with his old family.

uhmm.. talking about grandfathers..
My grandfather's father's all 13 children died before he died. He died two years ago and was 90-something years old.
3/4 of my grandparents are still alive though.

None of my grandparents served in wars, but my grand uncle on my father's side (my grandmother's brother) fought in the civil war in China decades ago. I don't know much about him, and have never met him. He is still alive, but very elderly.
Only my grandmother on my father's side is still alive. My grandmother (on my mom's side) and grandfather (my dad's side) passed away years ago.
My other grandfather (my mom's father) died of cancer a long time ago when my mother was 12. He drank and smoked a whole lot. I wish I could have met him as, despite his habits, my mom said he was a wonderful person to be around.
