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.
It’s entirely possible....dad was there for 3 years....in Calcutta & Bombay mostly.....and spent some time on supply trains....
Dad was a Capt. then.
Dad has been gone for quite a while. Thank you.
May you have the best Christmas possible.
