I recently discovered that I am related to Ronald.

I intend to try and research him, and post my findings here, in memory of him.

I believe that he died of wounds.

Family legend goes that he died as a result of accidentally shooting himself in the stomach with a captured Japanese pistol.

  No good ways to die, but that would count as one of the more senseless and, if you believe in St peter, more embarassing ones.  RIP Sergeant Caldecott.
