My Mother used to bake apple pies and cakes and each week we would take them to the nearest hospital for the wounded soldiers who were a long way away from home.
When they were able to get around we had them visit our home for meals and we kept in touch with some of them after the war and we are still in touch.
I will never forget the smell of those wards. It was the smell of Gas Gangrene.
