My Father was in the tunnelling engineers, WW1. His name was same as mine Reginald Follas,Reg#18262. He didn't talk about his service, there was a large age gap, Dad being 54 yrs old when I was born 15.09.46.
I served myself both here in NZ and in Australia. Only recently realised how important Dad's service was. I wish I could wind back time.
