Ronald V Wood

Ronald was an uncle of mine.  He was killed in World War II before I was born.  When I researched my family I found his grave in the Netherlands and put it on my family tree.  Today, I got this message:

Hi, I was searching for Ronald V Wood born about 1924 and died 16 jan 1945 on ancestry I found on your page:

He was one of the British soldiers(DLI) that liberated our village, he got killed that day and was first buried in our village and about 2 years later reburied in "Jonkerbos" Nijmegen.

I am trying to get some life details and perhaps a picture of him for an article of those who fight for our freedom.
Are you a relative? Could you tell me something about him?

Regards,
Henk Penders

Jean Burton has his picture as Ronald was her dad's brother.  We've passed this information on and I post anything I hear back from Henk!
