Documents 
Document - Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie
Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie Tuplin, dated November 28, 1944. At the time, Jut was in the Royal Canadian Army Corp (RCAMC) and was stationed at the #20 Canadian General Hospital in Leavesden, England. The letter details some of what Jut was doing during the war, and mentions Joseph Charles McIver, who had been officially reported missing as of the 18th. There are references to his wife, Eunice McCarville, and their son, Paul McIver.
Unfortunately, it appears that Charlie Tuplin never received the letter as he was taken prisoner on while fighting in the Netherlands, and died in captivity on December 8, 1944. He is buried in the Holten Canadian Cemetery in Holten, Netherlands. Charlie was from Indian River, PEI, and was serving with the Royal Highland Regiment (Black Watch) in France and the Netherlands. His name is inscribed on the Kensington War Memorial along with Joseph Ready.
There is a Dutch private citizen in Holten, Netherlands who has been looking after Tuplin's grave and had just visited it on January 5th, 2021. The Dutch are dedicated to honouring the Canadians buried in the Netherlands for liberating them, they do a lot of work to keep honouring their memories and the sacrifice they gave for the Netherlands.
