Here's the note I sent back to Gilles:

What a touching story. Loved reading it. Thank you for taking the time to post it. What an awful fate to be suffered by anyone, let alone a young 19 year-old, so far from home.

I remember hearing about the Rapido River disaster. and also the
Salerno landing. Rocky
