My youngest came home 3-4 years ago from school with homework to talk to a relative about their memories of the Second World War...even then the *very* youngest with any real direct memory of the war would have been in their early 80s.

Yup, none of the relatives who I met who fought wanted to talk about it, I only know one was in the Western Desert because off an offhand remark his wife made. My grandfather was there too, died before any of us were born basically due to untreated PTSD.
