A letter about the Queen Mum from the Viz letters page
We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to
the war effort: as the BBC pointed out, she “bravely remained in London
beside her husband” during the war. This contrasts sharply with the
actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately
left his wife and children and p*ssed off, first to France, then North
Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
The shame will always be with us.
George Nisbet.
Thanks to the Guardian Comment commenter who reminded me of this.
