He was by all accounts a remarkable man, teaching himself French while stationed in France during WW1, and well enough to then work as an interpreter at the French Embassy in Senegal for several years after the war (we have the rhinoceros tusks to prove it!). He died young, and as we only recently confirmed, rather gruesomely as a result of foul play by persons and for motivations still unkown. The truth was kept from my mother, who who at age 90, we are not going to enlighten now. The legend, from close friends of the family of her generation, is that he was killed while involved in counter intelligence operations against the Nazis in New York Harbor before the US became officially involved in the war. We have been unable to confirm this, and I suspect it may have been more related to anti smuggling operations. Be that as it may, I am overly fond of the march "Men of Harlech", and its many varied lyrics!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-36965830818584303522014-08-14T18:47:25.973-04:002014-08-14T18:47:25.973-04:00My pleasure, Rafa!My pleasure, Rafa!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-10629396749856136742014-08-14T07:45:52.051-04:002014-08-14T07:45:52.051-04:00A gret resource.

One of the most interesting things I learned however was that we both share a Welsh ancestry, and that the reputation for being tighter than the Scots is not just something that has been propagated within my family alone (although my father is amongst the most generous men I have ever met, my grandfather was far more "selective" with his dispensations).<br /><br />Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-23975587438154596042014-08-14T04:17:55.987-04:002014-08-14T04:17:55.987-04:00Excellent online resource.
