POEM FOR JOHN

DISGRACE

DOWNED AIRMAN JOHN SEDDON

 

BELOW IS A PICRURE OF ALBERT PANIS.
He wrote his family a last letter, in which he said:
WE MUST LEAVE, BUT IT IS TEMPORY LIKE EVERY THING ELSE ON THIS GLOBE.
AND WE WILL MEET EACH OTHER ABOVE.
AND WE WILL START A WHOLE NEW HAPPY LIFE, SWEET HEART,BELOVED PARENTS,BROTHERS AND SISTER.
I WILL WILL HELP YOU.
I GO TO WHERE I WILL MEET OUR BELOVED SISTER MARIA.

But he was betrayed and executed.

Rene Van Muylen, the WORST OF THE WORST
JAMES AKINS was shot down on 1 dec 1943. With help from the Underground, he and his bombardier BILL DOLGIN evaded capture for almost 4 months. Then they were the first to be sent out on the "new escape route" - which unfortunately was set up by the
GERMAN COLLABORATERRENE, VAN MUYLEN.
Court records show that Van Muylen had been responsible for the arrest of 177 Allied airmen in the Antwerp, Belgium area, and was later executed.
When Jimmy and Dolgin arrived at Luft !,they found their navigator, Jack Foard, who had been caught back in December. Jimmy was sent to the South Compound and Bill Dolgin was sent to the North 1 compound.
I have heard that, to this day there are still traitors walking around a country that is free because of men such Jimmy, Jack and Bill, and I hope they cannott sleep at night. If they don't like this article I'm not hard to find, as I am no coward or turncoat.

ALSO BETRAYED AND EXECUTED [AGED 14 WHEN THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN]
HE WAS EXECUTED AT THE AGE OF 19

LEON LABYT WROTE TO HIS PARENTS:
DISTRESSED MOTHER AND WISE FATHER.
I DID MY DUTY TILL LAST SIGN OF LIFE.
THIS IS A SWEET CONSOLATION AS YOU MAY BE PROUD OF YOUR SON.
I HAVE NEVER GIVEN YOU SORROW AND THIS MAKES ME HAPPY IN MY HOUR OF DYING.

Everyone in the village of Beveren began to cry as they read this letter.
