Grandpa Jim and the 401st BG

[RAMC181]

I've written to Felix to see what he can come up with and will report back.
He's the sort of chap that if he can't remember something properly will say so.

All the best,
PB

Bump, Paul anything to add ...

Gone West. We laid Jim to rest last Monday; he was 100. The USAF sent a three-man Honor Guard to fold and present the flag and to play Taps. It was a solemn moment. I assume the group had a heck of a reunion in heaven.

Jim, I'm sorry to hear this as I have followed this story. My deepest condolences to you and your family. We unfortunately continue to lose the greatest generation. They will never be forgotten.
