Said Their Prayers

The local took them to the spot where they believed Ron now rests. “We said a prayer there, we left the cross and we reflected on the area where Ron spent his last moments,” Phill told the BBC. Currently, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has reopened Ron’s file and are looking into the matter. Phil and Alistair are now home and they even brought some answer back for Sheila who had no idea what actually happened to her husband. “I am 75 now, not 25. I am satisfied and am at peace now I know what happened to my father,” Alistair told the Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, this event has given Phil life a new meaning, “Seeing the extent of the wreckage really moves me. I compare it to my own flying career in the Navy and know how close to dangerous situations I have been in. But, fortunately, I have always come out the other side of them,” Phil told the BBC.
