My Dad was in the RAF during WWII. He drove a crane and was engaged in clearing airfields of aircraft that made it back only to crash on landing because they were badly shot up. He told tales of the young women whose job it was to remove the crews that didn't survive - sometimes having to look for missing limbs. He was shocked at first at their gallows humour, but came to understand that it was a coping mechanism. This was in the times before counselling was the norm.
I have to say that we are very fortunate to have people like those women, and the modern day emergency service folk who pick up the pieces and shield us from some of the awful things that happen. Bless them all!
