This is my Great-Uncle from the Miles side of the family. Uncle Keith served in World War 2 and near the end of the war saw the atrociousness of the German concentration camps when his outfit liberated the camps at the end of the war. Uncle Keith would never elaborate on what he saw, he simply said he was there and wasn't going to talk any further about it.
My grandmother Janice is not mentioned in the 1930.
