I don't think anyone in my family was involved in that war - my maternal great grandfather was in the Army in WWI (when he lied and said he was older) and WWII (when he lied and said he was younger), so I doubt he'd be let back in for Korea, even if he wanted to go through hell again. He barely got out of Tobruk, thanks to a Stuka hitting his hospital ship.

My Pa (paternal grandfather) had been in the Navy in WWII (on a destroyer in the Pacific/Indian Ocean), but he probably left when the war was over. I'll have to ask him when I see him.

My Pop (maternal grandfather) was doing National Service, possibly at the time of the Korean War, but he didn't see combat (as a result he refuses any badges or other such things).
