Mr. O. J. Allen has received the following letter from the father of Tony Brook, who was accidentally killed in a plane crash: Stone House, Wavering, near Maidstone, Kent. 11th April, 1944.
Dear Mr. Allen, —My wife and I wish to thank you from our hearts for your kind letter conveying to us your sympathy, and that of your townspeople. The knowledge that our boy's grave will be tended by loving and understanding hands has brought a measure of comfort to us which nothing else could have done, and the esteem and love which you tell us Tony engendered in the hearts of your people, compensates us to a great extent for the tragic loss we have suffered. Tony's name was Anthony Kingsmill, and he was born on December 12th, 1922. If you will be kind enough to convey to the citizens of Charleville and district our grateful thanks for all they have done, and are doing for us, you will be adding to a debt which we already feel is beyond repayment. Yours sincerely, W. BROOK.
