Uncle jack
My uncle jack was a coastguard at Eastbourne During and before the war he had been a naval officer and by chance my father was a rating on the same ship Jack would have stayed in the navy after the war,, but the navy was downsized and even career officers had to leave So jack joined the coast guard and was assigned toEastbourne one day he was taking an inventory of the stations stock when a maroon blew up in his hands This was about 1960 or 1970,Both hands were severely injured,they managed to save his left hand but hehad to have his right hand and part of his right arm amputated Within a few weeks he had a prostetic arm fitted which he could control using the remains of the muscle at the top of his arm this arm had a number of attachments most of the time he used a hand, butIremember goingto visit him once to find he had swapped it for a scerewdriver to repair hisbike He was an absolutely amazing man and even although he's been dead foryears,I still think of him fondly
