Touching letter from an appreciative friend in the Netherlands, recalling the time when Kenneth slept in their garden along the road prepared to defend their home from the Germans. Unfortunately, Kenneth never got the letter because he was KIA before the letter arrived. Kenneth's mother got the letter instead and she kept it in her chest of memories.
