The Australian Women's Weekly

The men who returned

-

I remember World War II so well, and, even though we weren’t rich, my mother used to purchase The Weekly every week. It was a magazine that helped so many women whose husbands had gone off to fight in far-flung corners of the globe. At my school, we’d have a Memorial Service every Anzac Day. I remember so many fathers in our street who returned from the war, and as children we didn’t understand why they were so withdrawn and sad. I think it is in bad taste to feature Yassmin Abdel-Magied ( AWW, May) in your magazine. It would be hurtful to so many who have memories of that period in their lives. B. Dean, by email.
