Enigma Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 A few days ago we learned Jeff had passed away, aged 102. He was the last WW2 veteran I knew well, meeting him in the Netherlands and at W&P several times. He was in the BEF and fought throughout North Africa and Western Europe and was awarded the Military Medal. A book has been written with his story; Fighting Hitler from Dunkirk to D-Day: The Story of Die Hard Jeff Haward by Neil Barber and Jeff I'll attach a photo of Jeff sitting in the back of the Dodge with me behind the wheel in 2014. (Photographer unknown). Photo of jeff in wheelchair by me. We knew he would be in Vught in 2014 and "kidnapped" him because we already knew him. Rest in Peace Jeff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 RIP I remember him from W&P a few years ago, where he would hold lectures about his military service, one period/episode per day. I would go every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul jones Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I've had the pleasure of knowing Jeff for the past 10 years or so and enjoyed every single minute of knowing what a true gentleman he was always kind and time to speak to anyone and I classed him as one of my HERO'S. I was sadden and shocked to hear he had passed away. His funeral is this Monday coming and I will not miss it for anything RIP Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
