Hero's letter 80 years late

摘要

THE family of a soldier who died 80 years ago has finally received the last letter he wrote home. Pte Harry Cole, of the Suffolk Regiment (above), penned it just before he was killed by a German sniper during the British Expeditionary Force's retreat to Dunkirk during the early stages of the Second World War. It was among 50 written by soldiers that were at a local headquarters for checking by censors when it was overrun by the German Army.
