That comment makes no sense at all, quite frankly.
Born in Great Bookham near Leatherhead, Surrey, Waters grew up in Cambridge. His father Eric Fletcher Waters fought with the British army in World War II as a member of The Royal Fusiliers Company C. He died in combat at Anzio Italy in February 1944 when Waters was five months old.[7]
Actually, you’re right, it doesn’t make any sense. WWII in Eurpoe wasn’t over until 1944. Sorry about that everyone.
