Dear Alex,
Personally, I like Taz, so I will leave him out of this.
It might amaze you just how many people can conceive how the "mind set" was a hundred years ago. People tended to be more innocent and reserved. Education and pedigree played a major role in status and other affairs.
Nobody is perfect though and some of these young men were able to learn about the reality of life and death through warfare, bullets don't care who you are.
I hope that your recollections and or records don't go to the grave with you, but are either published by you or contributed in a joint effort along with other's great personal stories. Just my pfennig's worth.
Best Wishes, Jay aka FOKKERJ
P.S. Some of the best stories I have heard first hand were over a drink when people can loosen up and share things that might otherwise go unsaid. It can also cause exaggerations, but definetly it is usually more humorous.
Time can and does play hard on the memory.
