You're quite welcome. I was in France and in England as was my father was. He was there under different circumstances than me. I was there in time of Peace but unrest in certain parts of the world and he was during a war and lost a leg to it.
I don't know how true it is; but some one told me when I was there and in France. I can't remember if it was another G I or a French citizen that if you hit a tree and killed it. You would have to pay the owner the amount of whatever that tree could have produced in its life time.
If it is true. What a wonderful law. If only the world would apply it to a dead soldiers family; that is to the country who was responsible for his or her death and
that whatever good that that person could have produced in his or her life they would be held responsible for.
Sorry to here that he died. He served in France also. You need the service record or if they allotted the widow or the family a pension. You need to look at those records if they are available.
You are probably aware that most of the records were destroyed during the war. It is not saying that they might not still have a copy.
You don't have to answer this.
God Bless and God Speed,
Danny
