Many thanks Annpake,
I appreciate it you looked up these details! I also noticed that the son was missing in the Stanley Camp children's list, but as he is listed by a 1943 Dutch newspaper as well as by Greg Leck, the Children's list must be incomplete, or there is another reason. I don't know when the Children's list was made, perhaps the son did not survive camp.
Would Mary Lafleur still be alive I wonder...
Kind regards,
Pieter
