Final reckonings

Shredding Dad's last papers was chastening.
He logged the frustrating delays as he tried to claim his War Pension.
The elusive Miss Mitchell who was always out when he called.
The secret donations to The Gurkhas.
The record of his time in Burma and its long term consequences.
The tabulating of all his payments to local and national authorities
Finally pulped as he would have wanted.
Privacy preserved.
