I can't truly imagine what he went through and saw---and I suspect that he didn't/doesn't want to remind himself of it either.

My grandfather fought through Italy including Ortona. I was happy for whatever he wanted to talk about. As I got older, he spoke in some detail about his experiences.
It is also the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI. I will be in Belgium for some time for that and then go to Juno beach in a few weeks.
Looking forward to it.
