John Benton's mother

John Benton's mother was the mother of John, Chris and their sister.

She did not want her husband to leave for World War II. She was devastated when she received a letter and learned of her husband's death. John Benton saw her crying and told her not to worry, saying he would look after her and just be like his father. (HOMEVID: Wartime)

Behind the scenes

 * John Benton's sister is not seen or mentioned in Wartime, so it is perhaps best left to personal preference as to whether Mrs. Benton was pregnant at the time of her husband's death or she remarried at some point afterwards.
