Dick KRAGT was my beloved brother. This report of his is a little different from the one he gave me and interesting as it was more detailed. I was in London most of the war years and of course had no personal contact with him. But we once did get a message via Radio Orange and Airey Neave , his commanding officer, now and then reassured my mother that he was safe.
