Add my storyBiography contributed by Ella Craig-Cook
While in the army, he was allowed time away to sort out his first marriage.
When he came back from the war he had a limp and I was told a land mine exploded near him but that did not stop him from being a very caring man.
If he met someone who was hungry, he would invite them home for a meal, if someone didn't have a place to sleep, he offered a bed. We had one person who stayed with us a number of years, he became part of our family.
Ivan was always looking out for other people, some of whom he knew, and some he didn't.
My father loved my mum so much that when he felt he was not long for this world, he knew my mother had medical issues so he approached the neighbours and asked them to look out for my mother.
