Very moving

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Hello Tony,

I have seen this footage before, very moving indeed. In fact I have seen it several times as it so gripping.

See http://www.loyceedeen.org/ for more background on this aviator, the 23 year old Loyce Edward Deen, an Aviation Machinist Mate (Gunner) 2nd Class enlistee from Altus, Oklahoma.



PS: I was not sure which youtube video you tried to link, but here are several versions of it:

Hi Hanno

Thank you for the link to Machinist/Gunner. Loyce Edward DEEN. USNR. I agree with the sentiments and his story is only one of millions of servicemen and civilians killed in WW2. Including from our small town of Hillegome under German occupation for 5 years. I have just finished reading a book about Hillegome under occupupation.

The Loyce Edward DEEN story will be a story I use in the next edition of our club, WVCG Magazine "BARTREAD" which I produce. Good to hear from you again, it's been a while. All the best to you.

Tony
