He served in India during WWII and was The Army heavy weight boxing champion for a few years. After the war he was stationed in Wuppertal and Münster where my mother grew up. My mother remembers playing sword fighting with my Uncle who had the sidearm and my mother a large wooden spoon as he was older. This would have been around 1955ish'
