He posted on rdvc yesterday. he is a grieving son whose maternal great grandfather Robert won his vc at R.D.
i thought that as a first time poster he showed great fortitude in allowing the AZW community a chance to pass on their condolences regarding his great loss. the circumstances of which i found very moving. Les
