An Affectionate Letter

The contributor was born in 1944. The contributor had an uncle in the army who was a prisoner in the Far East. He died in prison. He was hoping to find the will leaving his possessions to the other prisoner. The letter was written by another uncle just before he died in Normandy, and sent to his sister in WRA. The contributor's grandfather was a local fire warden. The letter is a mixture of family notes and operational issues. The contributor has some memories of rationing post-war and bomb sites; somehow worse after 1945. It was a fairly protected childhood.
