Jock Milne R.I.P.

Jock was our neighbour during the war. He was a communist and a conscientious objector. Out of some warped and dreadful malice he was therefore assigned to the bomb disposal squad, whose job was to diffuse unexploded weapons - mainly bombs.
Although he survived the war only 2 out of his unit, including Jock, survived such was the risk these brave men took.
Winston Chuchill said of them, "I have never seen men with faces so grey and haggered", I wonder why?
