"Unarmed and alone" another incredible WWII story

Man that's awesome stuff!

From the obituary:

"Ray enjoyed high tea with the Queen of England, and a Heineken with Prince Bernard of the Netherlands in 1969."

I love that!

I don't have a picture of those, but here's a picture of Ray, on the right, with Horst Wilborn, having beers. Horst was on the plane in post #7, and was fortunate enough to survive. Not everyone aboard did. An English writer knew both of their stories, and thought they matched up. He put them in touch, and sure enough, they were old enemies. They met about 70 years after their encounter in the desert.
