Never served. Relieved of conscription on medical grounds. Little bit sad of it as my dream was to serve in Finnish Navy.

My still living grandfather served as combat engineer during WWII and another in armour (lied to be 18-yers old to get in). Greatuncle was Air Force fighter pilot flying mainly American built Brewster Buffalos. He retired as colonel in 50's never had honour to meet him.

My still living grandfather didn't talk about war experiences in over 50 years until in one day he told to me about building bridges for tanks during war. Have to be challenging work while being almost constantly under Soviet artillery and air attacks!

He have never bragged on war experiences just casually told about them.
