Simon Weston
“My first encounter with a really low point was when they
wheeled me into the transit hospital at RAF Lyneham and I
passed my mother in the corridor and she said to my gran, "Oh
mam, look at that poor boy" and I cried out "Mam, it's me!" And as she recognised my voice her
face turned to stone.”
