I am wondering if your great uncle is the same person. My Grandmother was Jean Hamilton and together they had 3 daughters, Agnes, Jean and Irene. I also just placed comments on the website. Thanks for your service, I am ex US Navy. Look forward to hearing from you.

John's sister, Margaret, had two children, a boy and a girl. Kent Dukes, who authored the previous post is a son of her daughter and my husband is the son of her son. Margaret named her son "John" for her brother.

I've been researching what happened to John and it's wonderful to find such a lovely tribute to his service and sacrifice.
