http://gloryandgrief.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Yeah it's been a while since I posted but since then some things have happened. Last week I was contacted by a pair of Dutch researchers from Valkenswaard (where Edward's plane crashed) who have made a website chronicling their town during the Second World War. They've asked me to include Edward's story and pictures on their website and I've agreed. Follow the link to see:. No English translation yet). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). On Wings of Fire.

Somewhere in England: Edward Dowe: Aftermath
http://gloryandgrief.blogspot.com/2009/04/edward-dowe-aftermath.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. In the early morning hours of February 20th 1944, Edward and aircrew disappeared over Holland. News was slow reaching his family who were originally informed that he was missing in action. In January 1945 the RCAF changed Edward's status to Presumed Dead. That was it. Given no concrete proof of Edward's death, Mildred did not stop her letting writing. In August of 1946 she and Edward's family finally learned the truth. For Mildred, I don't know what happened to her or if she re-...

Somewhere in England: Feb 15 1944
http://gloryandgrief.blogspot.com/2009/03/feb-15-1944.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. I had a very nice letter from you today and from Nanny yesterday. I have an awful lot of writing to catch up on tonight so its going to get me bopping. Sorry to hear Milton was so sick with a cold. I hope to goodness he is over it by now and back to school. Glad to hear that you and Daddy are both well and dandy. Keep that way-its cheaper. I guess you are just as glad its a mild winter, easier on the coal. Did you have a big tree for the kids or just a small one? Boy when Frank an...
