In Memory

[Cas van Loon]

Hello Trace, My mum and dad were both involved in underground activity during the war in Holland. We migrated to Aussie in the 50's but there was never a word about the underground work. It had to be a very special occasion if and when they would talk about it. I was very young when the war finished and have never talked about what I saw in those days. War pictures are a no-no and all this dragging up of the war years on the TV is abhorrent to me. What's past is past. From my point of view you did a good job with your poem and that 's how it was. cheers, Cas

Sadly too many of that generation are passing with stories not fully told. Its good to play a part in keeping some of it alive.

You hit the nail on the head here Trace & as for your poem, what a beauty, brought a lump to my throat eh! the underground did a fantastic job where ever they were throughout Europe, even Capt. Reg Saunders was was saved from the Isle of Crete disaster by the underground.

G'day Trace...
Your poem is not only an honest tribute to a hero and a family member, it is also well written. I suspect we will see some very good poems posted by you.
Well done and welcome to the ABPA mob.

Cheers, Will.
