Great work Terry yet again!! Thanks a lot
Roberts granddaughter was telling me he was all set to lose his leg, as he was injured in an area where all his friends where killed and a Canadian doctor said he would save the leg, This he done, but  Robert walked with a bad limp for the rest of his years!
Such a cool looking lad!
