Wallet lost decades ago in France finally returned to soldier's family in New Hampshi

On the subject of lost personal wartime documents, in the 1960s my dad loaned out a number of his old maps on which he'd recorded his progress through NW Europe in the final part of WW2. He was (as I've detailed elsewhere) in the 6Bn Royal Welch Fusiliers and took part in the 53rd Div push through the Low Countries and Reichswald forest (Operation 'Veritable').

He never got those maps back... they were apparently lost by the school where they'd been shown as part of a project. I don't know whether they were contemporary 1940s maps or 1950s/60s, but we've always regretted their loss and wondered where they might be now
