The Importance of Being a Gunner

I have just been informed that my cousin has been recruited for reserve duty. He's 23 y/o.

I told my Mom he was an artillery gunner, and therefore he should be relatively safe. Artillery is usually not in the front line.

But then I remembered he was transferred at some point. I think he's no longer a gunner. I am worried. It's past midnight. It's too late to call and find out where he's been located. There goes my goodnight's sleep. I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

In the meantime - it may sound selfish - God save my cousin.
