    For those of us who do not know, it would be nice if you explained who Roger Waters was, or of what significance it is as to where his father died. At least supply a reference we can click on to find out for ourselves.

    Sorry, Rodger Waters is the former bass player and song writer/singer of the rock group Pink Floyd. Many of his lyrics focus on the pain he endured, and still does, from losing his father in the war when he was just a baby. Two albums where this personal loss is a central theme are The Wall and The Final Cut.
