I wish we'd had the chance to meet..... love from your niece Karen, daughter of your ever loving brother William Proud and sister of your nephew James Proud (Jimmy), who was born on the anniversary of the day you so sadly lost your life and who is named after you in both your memory and your honour x
Remembering the sacrifice made by John Prentice and his fellow guardsmen on 30th July 1944 - from the son of Alastair Fleming, 3rd Tank Battalion Scots Guards
Guardsman John Patterson Prentice - God Bless Grandad, lovely to see you again in France and to know that you are now reunited with your daughter Helen after 73 years
My uncle, John Frederick Barber, brother of my dad and his two brothers, died August 8, 1944,at the Falaise Gap in France.He was a Sapper with the Royal Canadian Engineers. My siblings and I never met our uncle John, but we knew him from our dad . We think of uncle John often and remember the ultimate sacrifice he, and so many other young men, made for us. We will never forget you.
