Memories of Service 1 - Harold Bunny Burrows

You had a job to do and you got on with it. At least I did and I think most of the others were the same. After all some of those ops required a long seven or eight hours, and getting shot at all the time is not so easy.

– Harold Burrows

The losses in bomber command were very very heavy indeed, but I was lucky. We got shot up badly over Berlin once but only the rear gunner got killed. The rest of us were alright. But that was the job you had to do you know, go in and hope you're alright.

– Harold Burrows

I can't say that I claimed I was brave, but I did my best.

What we have been saying to these men is this is not for us, it is for your grandchildren's grandchildren.
