Woody (Keith's inferior cousin)

Phillip was a real hero in Keith's eyes. He'd seen a lot of action during the war and was a grown man with a wife and child on the way.
Woody was a cousin on the other side of Keith's family. He was in the navy. Keith didn't think too highly of Woody.

Letter from Keith to his mother, 7 November 1944.
'Everybody seems to be getting themselves into an awful sweat over Woody. Holy cats what’s he ever done that’s so gosh awful heroic. I’d like to take him for a ride in one of these old Halifax’s we have on this station, they are just about falling apart I bet he’d s___ himself if he ever saw two out of the four engines stopped and mountains  all around.'
