My father was killed in Hoven Wood (Near Tripsrath), but perhaps you know
this already. He was in the process of discussing the
current situation with his Commanding Officer when he was
hit; his CO was wounded but lived. At that time, my father
was an Acting Major but died before this could be formalised.
My father had dark hair and dark brown eyes both of which I
inherited, my mother having dark hair but green eyes. He was
5'11" tall. My daughter has inherited my father's teeth as
we realised a couple of years ago when we were looking at a
close-up photograph of my father and Emma said, "Look Mum, I
have got his teeth" and she was right, and yet mine are
totally different |
