Satju, Wow, that's incredible! Thank you for joining in on this discussion! Isn't it a small world? I'm thrilled to hear that John is still alive and well and about his father being the man from Yorks platoon. I will certainly respect John's desire to remain unidentified if he so desires. If there is any light on this subject that John would be willing to share through you, I for one would be extremely thankful and delighted to hear of it! I'm certain that there would be many others who would be grateful also. It would clear up a great deal about the matter and would be of immense bennefit to history! Would you please ask John if he would be willing to assist us in knowing more clearly what happened? It would be tragic beyond description if the information that his father passed on to John became lost and forgotten, never to be known again.
Thanks ever so much for your thoughtful response on this subject! Fred Gaarde
