Amidst the relentless bad news that generally drives newspaper items, there was a heart-warming story in the Telegraph last month which, if it doesn’t change the face of war, at least shows that some good can come from evil.

He died in 2014, and left his life savings (nearly £400,000) to the Scottish village where he says he experienced “kindness and generosity.”
