Talk to you soon

Larry

Welcome to the forum Gary. Be wary of sniper, he'll destroy your knees by getting you to take photos of graves.

As I started filling in the blanks - Service record etc - it only seemed appropriate to get a photo of the grave, and we ended up sponsering his grave

He died 3 weeks prior to the end, after going thru Italy etc with the 9th Armourd (BCD), in a night attack by youth of the HJ with sticky bombs and panzerfausts.

I know that the Military graves around here have been photo'd by Mapleleaf but would consider helping you all.
