Trust me I am - for both the purpose of understanding what my grandfather survived, and to get as much information from him as possible for some of his experiences... but he is still hesitant to talk about what he witnessed during the Siege of Malta left (the only volunteer only posting for the RAF/RAAF/RCAF in WWII) - but luckly like the book "Flags of our Fathers" there is are some written personal acounts of those dark days (which he features in).
