I'm very p;eased to announce a new member of the Panel of
Elders for this MEMORIES OF 1940's project.
Kees says... "My war stories are the memories of a young
Dutch boy living under the German occupation and later
finally liberated by the Canadians and the British.
"The war was very literally in my backyard with a German
General's staff, his radio listening post, the allied airmen
hidden far away in the garden, and later the Canadian
military field hospital in our living room with blood and
wounded soldiers around us. It was a strange, terrible and
sometimes even exciting period for the 11 year old boy I was
then.
"My stories of the fall of 1944 are told from the viewpoint
of a child and not that of a historian or a soldier. If you
are interested you can read a few of them on my world-wide-web page
www.rmplc.co.uk/eduweb/sites/chatback/~kees.html ".
