On the other hand, the early loss of one's father and general civilian war around could be a great motivators. To my shame I don't even clearly remember his rank. Either colonel or sub-colonel of railroad forces – rebuilding the ways, blowing up bridges and the like. He spent a lot of time just building railroads on the far East – both before and after the war. And yet, I know almost nothing of that.
I should have asked my father, who knew all this stuff and could tell me many stories. But I never asked him, and now he is forever behind, in the twentieth century.

[Thank you very much for commenting, and especially revealing this.
[It's a bit strange, realizing the effect that my work can have, but does show that the story is holding up well.
