“Fortunes of war”

I certainly have all the sympathy in the world for our fellas because they did suffer a great deal, the men suffered much more than the officers as you know. The officers weren't required to work so the men suffered more. It was the fortunes of war that we were confined, locked up. I feel that I was pretty lucky really, healthwise to have survived in the health that I have and it's pretty much the fortunes of war that some people had. We all had different predicaments.
