Dear Mr Collett,

I have the pleasure to inform you that you have been awarded the French Legion of Honour by the President of the French Republic for your actions during the war .

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for this well-deserved decoration.

As I am planning on visiting Hawke’s Bay around the month of October- November, I am considering organizing on that occasion an award ceremony for several Veterans.

My assistant, Mrs Nathalie Parant, will be soon in contact with you for the details.

She can also be reached at (04) 384 2555 or [email protected]

I look forward to meeting with you.
