Op 8 april j.l. overleed jammer genoeg Airborne legende John "Jack" Agnew op 88 jarige leeftijd.
Airborne Legend John "Jack" Agnew passed away last April 8, he was 88 years of age.
Jack Agnew, original member of the "Filthy Thirteen" (officially known as the First Demolition Section, HQ Company, 506th PIR), Agnew participated in the D-Day jump and Operation Market Garden before he and several of his fellow "Filthy Thirteen" paratroopers volunteered to become Pathfinders.
On December 23, 1944, Agnew was amongst the two sticks of Pathfinders who parachuted into the besieged town of Bastogne to coordinate the aerial re-supply of the 101st Airborne Division.
Jack made 4 Combat Jumps (Normandy, Holland, Bastogne and Varsity).
 
Here is the famous picture of him on top of a brick pile in George Koskimaki's book "Bastogne".
(Jack's website made by his daughter Barbara Agnew Maloney in tribute to her father.)
REST IN PEACE JACK...
