Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944
There is no nationality after death. Behind each casualty, no matter which side he fought, there is a drama and the grief of a mother, or a wife, or both. It must be terrible having to write the same letter to different mothers over and over again after each battle and yet try to personalize each word because you know the letter will be kept for life and and that each son is unique.
It is something we do not always realize that after going to a hell of fire, soldiers had to recall this events in their minds when writing letters.
