Continued from page 1 see WW2 Letter from Philip Chlentzos to his brother Peter, Feb 12 1944 (p. 1 of 2)
Philip and Peter Chlentzos were two of the four sons of Diamantis Haralambos Chlentzos and Yiannoula Koulentianos who enlisted in WW2. Philip died in combat on July 27, 1944, from injuries sustained during the invasion of Omaha Beach in France. Philip's letters to his brother have just been rediscovered. I never met my Uncle Phil, but through these letters I have gotten to know him.
My grandfather Diamantis Chlentzos received an honorable discharge from the United States Navy at the age of 95, shortly before his death. My uncle Peter Clentzos wrote a letter of thanks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. See also Old Letters: United States Congressman requests honorable discharge, p. 1

Upon arrival in the USA the letters were printed from the film and then posted onward to the addressee. This was the ...

This letter was written by Konstantin Bernardos to my grandparents Yiannis and Marigo Alfieris, in the USA. They had lost contact for many years after Yiannis and Marigo immigrated to the USA. K. Bernardos somehow finds their address and writes this letter. Marigo's mother was Efrocene Bernardos from Christoforianika. Any information on the author or his descendants would be appreciated. Translated the letter reads: Konst. E. Bernardos Athina 8
