I am attempting to transcribe my paternal Granddad’s journals and can I just...
What the fuck is this? This is part of, what I can only assume is*, a list of illnesses, injuries and whatever the fuck else occurred during his time as a (VOLUNTARY) POW. Best guesses are that he’s talking about Patches of Numbness.
* I can only assume because he does not, for several paragraphs use commas which I KNOW HE CAN USE BECAUSE HE DOES SO LATER IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH! Later
I know this is someones attempt to edit an incorrectly spelled name and they appear to have realised there was no room to add the edit but still it looks like my dearly departed Granddad is just... mocking me and my attempts to make sense of his work. Further down I get this...
What is this word? It’s the beginning of a sentence and its a pain in the arse.
Is it expanding? explaining? updating? reporting?! Fuck knows.... ARGHHH I have never met this man and I’m sure he was a lovely, kind person but right now I want to shake him!
