I just found this thread on Google as I'm trying to contact the Rub family. I'm in England and every year since 2014 i've been visiting the war grave of Leslie Rub in Belgium. I'm hoping to be there in Septemberfor the 100th anniversary of his death and would love to find out more about him and speak to relatives so I can maybe take something over for them.

Can anyone help?

Thanks everyone for all the information.

I'd love to get in touch with his family and let them know I'm honoring him.

A friend I have who lives nearby in Aus is helping me out as well so I'm sure I'll manage it. Perhaps i should write to the local paper!
