Richard Werner was my Uncle. I am in possession of first-hand written accounts of the action leading up to his death. These come in the form of correspondences between my grandparents and a man who was with Richard Werner from training up until his death. I have most of what remains of Dick's personal items.
Thank you for sharing Chris! As an Army Veteran and Dutch-American, I am extremely grateful for men like your uncle. My grandparents and their kids always had the deepest respect for them as well.
As Jos mentioned, it would be a true honor if there are any documents or photos you could share. We could even update this information if you wish. Please let us know.
Thank you for your comment, Chris. Respect for your uncle's service, and in the Netherlands we remain grateful for these men's sacrifices, acknowledging also how hard it must have been for the ones who were left behind back home. I would be very much interested in reading this personal correspondence if that is possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
