ALTHOUGH I do sympathise with the Japanese people on the radiation from the power plants, are you aware that there is still a great number of us servicemen still suffering from our nuclear tests in the part played by us in the Pacific in the 50s?

We had chaps at Christmas Island, Maralinga and the Monte Bello Islands and not only the chaps are still suffering but the families as well.
