Hi everyone

I was asked by J B Brekelmans to upload this letter from his collection, as the letter is in French I have attached a copy of JB's email to me as it contains a broad translation of the contents of the letter

"I just found below letter which may be interesting to put on CVA.

Reference letter from commander in chief of 4 Belgian troop Major Danloy for L/cpl Van Den Daele who served with 4th troop from 27/7/1942 till 14/8/1945. He served in Italy Yougoslavia and Walcheren. He was wounded in Walcheren It is certified he was always a good loyal soldier."


Cheers Andy

Hi Pete

JB has requested that this document be uploaded on to the relevant section of the gallery, any chance you could do this for him.

Cheers Andy

Hi Andy and JB

I would normally add references like this when accompanied by a photo of the individual. We do have a troop photo where Pierre is amongst the men. In the absence of a good resolution individual photo of him would you have any issue with me adding a small thumbnail sized one to the document from the troop photo. Here is what I mean. Obviously I would add in the credit that we have added the photo to the original document. If you have just let me know and I will remove it. If ok let me know and I will add it to the gallery.

All the best Pete

Hi Pete

Thanks for that, sorry I tried to reply last night on my Iphone but the message would't send for some reason.

Cheers Andy
