Our Dads could have rubbed elbows at one time or other or who knows, worked closely together. My Dad was all over India and Burma and into southern China.
God bless your Dad and all best wishes and thoughts to him and you.
He has very fair skin and the Indian sun took its toll on him..
....since the War.he has had countless bouts of skin cancer.
...even now in the nursing home, the latest bout is probably a melanoma but they can't help him now....because of his dementia.
God bless your dad for his service!....and Merry Christmas to you.
