The attached image is of a sample of the letter that was sent to the next-of-kin of the murdered Rifleman, that was mailed on December 6, 1945, this was the first knowledge that the families received of the murders. Following the June 8 murders, they were informed that the soldiers had been killed in action, or in Eddie's case, that he was missing in action.
