00:00Well I think you should remember all those that gave their lives. They didn't all volunteer,
00:09some did, but most were called up and then they never went back.
00:15I mean the evacuees are the forgotten ones in a way. I mean I talk to my great-grandchildren
00:20about it and I used to talk to my two granddaughters, but I don't think they take in the enormity
00:27of it.

00:41freedom for us and I think the least we can do as a society is remember them and sort
00:45of celebrate what they've done for us.
