Jan Derksen (back boy on an Allied tank, top, and middle) from Holland was saved from starvation when “Soldier Whitehead” shared his rations with him.
“I ran back for my doll buggy and doll, and I put a loaf of bread into a bag.”
“Do your duty and don’t do anything to embarrass your mother.”
“Going to war was one of the great defining moments in my life, and in our nation’s life.”
