Referring to my Sons membership of the Caterpillar Club. I am glad to tell you he has been liberated from Stalag 357 and we are expecting him in England in the very near future.
At the time he joined the Caterpillar Club, you were not in a position to send the gold pin & he only got his membership card.
If you are able to send it now, I shall be glad.
Yours truly

He was Sergeant when made a member.
