This has often led to slight feelings of guilt, particularly at armistice-day parades. My country had been at war with three adversaries but the first Italian I saw was a prisoner-of-war in Iraq; the first German I saw was a prisoner-of-war in Alexandria just prior to my demob and I have never yet seen a Japanese soldier.
We were going in the right direction and demob was in sight.
Just before Christmas I had a cable from father telling me that mother had had surgery and was seriously ill; I applied for compassionate leave and travelled to Cairo for an interview in the Hotel Semiramis. The officer said that it could be arranged but since my demob was imminent I would probably get home quicker if I let things take their course. I did.
