Found these when looking for something else - moving letters between Olive (at home) and Eric (at war) - A glimpse of family life as it really was, based on letters between young Leicester couple during the war. http://www.west-london(.)freeserve(.)co(.)uk/OliveandEric/index(.)html

Hello each. You might try to find a book called Khaki Parish. A young vicar and his new wife wrote an astonishing number of letters to each other during WW11. Uplifting or what!! Regards. Keith

Ray, Hard for those of us who were born after WW2 to even begin to understand what people had to go through. If only the world would learn the lesson and put an end to war........
