War Memories
Story A
Do Chuc is a 48-year-old Vietnamese farmer whose two daughters and an aunt were killed by American soldiers in My Lai that day. He and his family were eating breakfast when the American soldiers entered the village and ordered all civilians out
of their homes. Together
with other villagers, they
were marched a few
hundred metres into the
village square where they
were told to sit.
"Still we had no
reason to be afraid,"
Chuc remembered.
"Everyone was calm.
We'd seen it all
before." Then he
watched in surprise as
the soldiers set up a machine gun. The calm ended and panic set in. The people began weeping and praying. One man showed his identification papers to a soldier, but the American simply said, "Sorry."
Then the shooting started. Chuc was wounded in the leg and almost unconscious, but he was covered by a pile of dead bodies and thus, his life was saved. After waiting an hour, he fled the village.

Story B
We were on the frontier and on Christmas morning we stuck up a board displaying: "A Merry Christmas" on it. The enemy had stuck up a similar one. Two of our men then threw their equipment off and climbed out of the trench with their hands
above their heads as our
representatives. Two of
the Germans did the
same. They greeted each
other and shook hands.
Then we all got out of the trench. Bill (our officer) tried to prevent it but it was too late, so he and the other officers climbed out, too. We, and the Germans, walked through the mud and met in the middle of no-man's land.
We spent all day with one another. Some of them could speak English. By the look of them, their trenches were in as bad a state as our own. One of their men,
speaking in English, said
that he had worked in
England for some years
and that he was fed up
to the neck with this war
and would be glad when
it was over.
We told him he wasn't the
only one who was fed up
with it. The German officer
asked Bill if we would like
some beer and they brought
them over to us.
Bill distributed the beer
among us and we consumed
a lot. The officers came to an
understanding that we
would celebrate Christmas in
temporary peace until midnight.
Just before midnight, we all decided not to start firing before they did. We'd formed a bond and
during the whole of Boxing Day, we never fired a shot and they the same; each side seemed to be waiting for the other to set the ball rolling. One of their men shouted across in English and asked how we had enjoyed the
beer. We replied that we were
very grateful and spent the
whole day chatting with them.
That evening we were replaced
by other soldiers.
(Adapted from Old Soldiers
Never Die by Frank Richards)
Story C
I got a phone call from the chief nurse, saying, "You've got a patient there who is going to get an award. Make sure that the ward looks good." This really turned me off to begin with, "Let's clean up the ward because we've got VIPs coming in." Well, the VIPs happened to be a general and a group of about a dozen people. It was this patient's second
visit to us and this time he'd
had both his legs blown off
—he was all-of-about 20
years old.
When he was waking up after the surgeon had finished, he whispered, "Don't you remember me, ma'am " I said, "Oh yeah!" But really I didn't because there were so many of them. The general was coming to give him the award because he happened to be number 20,000 to come through this hospital. They
had this little ceremony, where
they presented him with a Purple
Heart and a watch. As the general
handed him the watch, "from the
army, to show our appreciation,"
the kid more or less threw the
watch back at him.
He said something like, "I can't
accept this, sir; it's not going to
help me walk." After this little
incident, I went over and took
him in my arms. If I remember
correctly, I started sobbing and I
think he was crying, too. I really
admired him for that. That was
the only time I let somebody see what I felt. It took a lot for him to do that, and it sort of said what this war was all about to me.

A soldier from World War I tells one of his war memories
During the war, I had to work on an air base in South Africa. I remember once we had 24 hours off-duty, my friends and I had a night out in the town. We were walking slowly back to the base at about midnight, talking about the evening, when someone 1 mentioned / chatted South Africa’s famous wild animals. We were 2 chatting / swearing about stories we’d heard when suddenly my friend, Bob, begged us to be quiet. “Be quiet yourself!” somebody 3 greeted / replied. Then I heard them. “No, everyone be quiet,” I 4 whispered / swore. And then we all could hear the lions. “Quick, run!” someone 5 mentioned / shouted. We all ran towards our base. Everyone made it back except me — I fell into a trench!
I stayed there till morning when I climbed out and walked back to the base. My friends 6 whispered / greeted me like a hero. They thought l'd been eaten! I
7 swore / chatted that I’d never go drinking and then walking in the wild at night again.
Thank you!
