Field post Sliedrecht - January 8, 1940
The above card was sent by a Torpedist (Army Maritime Engineers) to Sliedrecht on January 8, 1940. He writes:
“Scheveningen, January 8, 1940. Beloved wife and daughter. I received and read your letter, and I see that you are having a bad cold. How are you now? Write to me again soon. I am glad that Lenie is feeling a bit better. And what did the doctor say about your mother? Write to me again soon because I am very curious. Did you receive my letter? I will write you another letter tomorrow. Warm regards and get well wishes from your husband and father. Goodbye, Lenie, until we meet again. Koppelaar, Torpedist.”
