263972 Pte. John Richard Heaps British Army Seaforth Highlanders My dad, John Heaps never talked much about the war He used to say "oh stop asking questions".
There was only one story he told us about which was during a battle. He and his mate had to dive into the hole and as they dived in, him one way his mate the other, his mate was blown literally in half straight down the middle whereas my dad had severe injuries to both legs.
What he saw of his mate haunted him till the day he died.
