A war veteran, who narrowly avoided being caught up in a notorious Nazi massacre, has died aged 100.
Robert “Bob” Brown, of Norwich, has been described by his family as “generous, forgiving, and sociable”.
Mr Brown was born in Newton Flotman, south of the city, on July 15, 1920, where he spent his youth.
From the age of seven, he would sit and listen to his father talking about his time during the First World War. This eventually sparked his ambition to become a soldier.
However, at the age of 11 he had to wear glasses and thought his chances had been scuppered.
