Yes, the worst thing I’ve ever experienced emotionally, a lot worse than any previous bereavements - even the death of my mother when I was 16.

… in his book Wings of the Wind and his long and rambling family history, Not Found Wanting. I haven’t been in touch because of my twin brother’s illness and death of leukaemia (six weeks ago) and all the sad business of his funeral and clearing out his house in Wendover.

Hi Winkie. I think you’ve tried to contact me a couple of times re. my father’s service in Tunisia in 1942 as a paratrooper (Red Beret). He was also in action in Sicily, Italy and Arnhem (where he was very lucky! to be shot through the lung and taken prisoner. I.e. to survive.) He wrote about it in

My father was on Operation Torch as a paratrooper in the 1st Parachute Squadron RE. They got to Gibraltar on about Nov 6 I think, but main assault, starting at Algiers, was on Nov 12. Later he was on major operations in Sicily and Italy, and finally Arnhem, where he was wounded and taken prisoner.
