"Antony, the younger son, joined the South African Air Force and was seconded to the Royal Air Force. He was on operations during the so-called 'Battle of the Bulge' in December 1944 when the Germans concentrated on the last thrust in the Ardennes Forest. The RAF planes had to fly at tree-top height to attack the enemy tanks: the weather was verybabd which made the attack all the more difficult, and Antony, like others, went missing, 'presumed killed'."
