Hi,
Re: CAPT. FITTS, US ARMY, WW2, ENGLAND, UK, 1943.
I’m writing from England, UK.
Captain Fitts was my natural father (I was born in 1944 and adopted in 1946).
I was told that FITTS was pretty certainly the correct spelling of his name, rather than FITZ.
JOHN was quite possibly, though not definitely, his Christian (or first) name. And it’s believed, though again, not known for certain, that he was an architect in civilian life. Which, together with his rank, would suggest that in 1943, he must, at least, have been in his mid-twenties and could have been in his thirties or even forties.
But basically, all I know for sure is that he was a US Army Capt. named Fitts (or Fitz). And his liaison with my mother was brief. So he may just have been here in transit for a few days or weeks, rather than actually stationed here.
While I imagine he would almost certainly have passed on by now, it’s possible that in 1943 he was married and is still survived by a widow who knows nothing about me. So, if anyone reading this suspects they may know of the Capt. Fitts to whom I refer, and there is a widow still living, please don’t make enquiries that risk her learning about me. I would not want to be responsible for such a shock to her.
However, subject to that safeguard, if someone does think they may know of the Capt. Fitts I’m looking for, I’d love to hear from them.
With best wishes to Fitts’s one and all,
Alastair K. Newman
