Hi Cathy,
I don't suppose anyone wanted to be there it was a godforsaken country with its dangers by the dozen . My parents served in the RAF and were there from 1964 until the forces withdrew ( Hence the last Post )
today I would presume the post would be and unaccompanied post if of course it still was a posting. The TV adaptation is not as accurate as it could be but apart from the 1st episode it is getting there although I feel it cannot due to protocol show exactly how nasty it was out there . I have just spoken to my Mother who obviously does remember more than us children she said that the episode where there was a beheading was nearer to the mark. I think us children were protected as much as possible but I know my father (sadly no longer with us )(RAF Police )said he had witnessed so much cruelty. Times sadly have not improved .
