I was wondeing - the wiki lists Mrs. Barrow as dead, but I don't remember bieng told that in the series. The only place I remember her being mentioned at all, in fact, was when he was talking with Matthew in the trenches and said "If only my mother could see me now", which can be a sign that someone is dead, but can also mean they're just a long way off and unable to see what's become of someone.
Is this clarified somewhere that I'm not aware of or are people simply assuming from the phrasing and the fact that she (along with the rest of his family, including his very alive father) are always refered to in the past tense in cut scenes and such?
