These women, who live in our street, and drink in our local, share their stories with warmth, humour and candour, as they reveal the real lottery of war."He was a boy. I loaned my son to them to do a job. I didn't say you could keep him." Janice Murray, mother of Private Michael Tench, aged 18.Motherland toured the UK in September 2009 in a production by Live Theatre and Empty Spaces.
