An archive or treasure trove…
In cleaning up our late mother’s house my two sisters discovered a cache of letters Dad had written home to friends & family between 1941 & 1946 while serving as a signaller for an artillery regiment in Palestine, New Guinea, Indonesia & Borneo. His wit was of the rather dry variety & locally he was renowned for his quirky humorous writing style.
I have yet to read any of these letters but I’ve been told that they are quite funny in places. I’m rather looking forward to reading them - provided I can decipher his handwriting.
