John James Cave

British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

My Uncle John Cave served in the REME in WW2. I believe he got as far as Arnhem. He helped a Jewish family there and they gave him a statue of a miner in bronze. He refused to take anything from them, but his help was invaluable to them and the family insisted. The statue was placed on our piano, and recently my nephew discovered the Jewish name was spelled in reverse to fox the Nazis. He wouldn't talk about any other experiences in WW2. I'd like to go to Arnhem one day.
