Philip and Mary Charron


Philip Marcel Charron - Keith's older cousin, also in the RCAF. He flew spitfires in Malta and during the Normandy invasion. He was probably the reason Keith joined the airforce. Philip was a hero. 

Mary Charron - Philip's wife and Keith's newest relative. She was probably about the same age as Keith. When Keith met her she was 5 months pregnant, so another relative was on the way! 

Letter from Keith to his mom, 14 July 1944.
'Mater [Philip and Keith's grandmother] says Phillip is doing dangerous work since 1940 I guess a little more wont make him finish off he's half the pilot Mary says he is.'

Letter dated 2 July 1944.
'Phillip is in France doing a good job I imagine. He’s got German swords & a German helmet I don’t know where he gets them I think it was in Malta.'
