Dick Borden's brother, Paul, died almost a year later.
Sometime after D-Day, Dick wrote a letter home to his parents.
'We have almost gotten situated here, the place from which I sent the pictures. You have no idea how swell it is to be back in this peaceful, quiet spot, and be able to relax, although I must admit that most of us are still a bit jumpy.
"For we instantaneously jump at sharp sounds and sort of flinch at first when we step off a path into tall grass, or bushes, for, 'over there' we had to watch carefully for mines. Give us a week or two though and I think we'll all be normal.
"I know you want to know just as much as possible, so here goes. I hope you will understand that some things will have to wait, and some are better not mentioned at all."
