By Nick Pisa This is the touching moment Pink Floyd star Roger Waters visits a cemetery near where his soldier father died in the final months of World War II. Eric Fletcher Waters was serving as a second lieutenant with the Royal Fusiliers as they advanced through Italy in 1944 when he was killed in action. His newborn son Roger was aged just five months when he was killed on the battlefield near Cassino. Earlier this year, the Pink Floyd musician made an emotional journey to visit the battlefield where his father was killed along with thousands of other Allied troops.
