58658: Leter from Albert Bromwich to his wife

A letter written to Beatrice the night before he set out for France, found with his son Gordon's belongings after his death in 1987. It refers to a previous financial disaster in the family, and his own possible death.

Editor's Comment:
His name is erroneously spelt 'Bromwick' on his medal card, held by the National Archives.
