This letter was from the Mayor of Blamont, France where Paul's plane crashed on July 29th, 1944. He and his crew are buried there in the communal cemetery. The letter was sent to the airman's mother, Cecile Roche, and explains how the plane leveled out at the last moment and crashed into a field saving the town.

This framed scroll hangs in the St. John Henry Newman Catholic Church (formerly St. Thomas Aquinas Church) located on the University of Toronto campus. The pre-printed template was designed by A.J. Casson. “For King and Country Members of Newman Club of the University of Toronto Who Have Volunteered for Active Service with Canada’s Fighting Forces”. The roll of service shows a total of 289 names written in calligraphy. The document is not dated and contains no key, but it is known after the fact that at least nine of the individuals listed therein lost their lives in the Second World War (at least 6 in the Canadian and 3 in the American forces).
