Just received this. Here's the letter and the article. I think this is a cool Christmas present!

Marion, A WW2 Bomber Pilots son sent me this today. Thought you'd like to see if you haven't already?

 

Regards,

of Fort Eben Emael and crossing the numerous canals and rivers in the advance

to Aachen, Germany.

Just had a chance to peruse the article you attached. Will have more time to read it later, but it looks like a pretty good match, n'est pas?
