WITH regards to Mr A Thipthorpe's less than objective critique of the Second World War, (Letters, Wednesday, May 14) may I congenially refer him and other would be military historians to Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington (1759-1852) who plaintively stated; "I recommend you to leave the battle of Waterloo as it is."
Harping on about the war is innately tiresome to readers who lived through it, and anyway harpists spend half their life tuning and the other half playing out of tune.
