Dear editor:
The attached pictures are of my mother’s brother when he was overseas. He sent these pictures home to his parents, who lived in the Whale Inn, or Elliott House, at the foot of King Street.
I have also included a picture showing my two uncles at the beach, with Fort Niagara across the river. My other uncle, Bob, was in the medical service.
On the back of the picture of my uncle Clifford Thomas sitting on a bomb, he wrote: “This one’s for the fuhrer and we will deliver it to his front door free of charge.”
After one sortie, their Halifax bomber was badly shot up and they barely made a landing.
