Re: War veterans
My dad was injured on the beaches of Dunkirk and spent many years trying to regain his health....and as a family we struggled to make ends meet.
In his latter years again he turned to the benefits system for a helping hand to get a pair of glasses......none was given because my mother earned 50 pence more than was permitted at the time.......so if we are talking of past wars and a home fit for heroes.....then you are having a laugh.
