Wages & Time Dept.,
Appleby – Frodingham Steel Co.,
Scunthorpe
16 October 1942.
Dear Mrs Pexman
It was with deep sorrow and regret that we finally heard of Ken’s death.
We kept on hoping that he might have been taken prisoner, but alas, we now know otherwise.
Will you please accept this enlarged photograph as a lasting token of the esteem in which he was held by all of us here.
We offer you our sincere sympathies in the sad loss you have sustained, but we trust you will find consolation in the knowledge that he died like the man he was, fighting against oppression, for his country and for those he held most dear.
Sincerely yours on behalf of Wages & Time Dept. Staff
R Jarvis.
