Field Postcards Sergeant M. de Zee - May 1940
The above two field postcards were both written by Sergeant M. de Zee of the Staff of the 2nd Regiment Cyclists. As described in the previous card, this unit fought near Dordrecht. The first card was sent on May 13, 1940, from Sliedrecht. He writes to his wife and children:
“Dear wife and children, I am well and everything is still good. Are you all well too? Kisses from your Max, address on the other side. The boys are also doing well.”
The second card was written on May 15, also to his wife and children:
“15-5-1940 Dear darlings, everything is fine and in order. Are you all well? Stay strong. You will hear more from me. Many kisses for you and the children. Lots of love, your Max and father. Take it easy and stay calm.”
Both cards are also remarkable, especially when considering the dates of the letters. They serve as signs of life for the family.
