Further casualties

It was the catalyst. Colin and Janet hadn’t got on too well for years but they’d kept together for the boys. David was now off their hands working as an engineering apprentice in the Midlands and Tim, their younger boy, had been killed in the awful unexploded bomb incident a couple of months ago. First they blamed the other boy, John, and then quickly turned their focus to his parents. It sort of brought them closer together again, briefly. Then each of them found ways to blame one another. Their marriage exploded!

The Nazis blew them apart, 77 years on.
