Both of John's parents served with distinction in the military during World War Two. His mother was an army nurse and his father a paratrooper in the famous 101st Airborne Division, jumping from aircraft to fight in major campaigns including Operations Overlord (the D-Day landings) and Market Garden (the Allied attempt to seize bridges behind enemy lines on the Dutch-German border). He also endured the horrific conditions of the Battle of the Bulge.
