Attached is a book that I have produced of my grandad's letters sent to my Nan during WWII. These range from 1940 when he first went into training in Winchester until he returned home in 1946 after finally being released from the Army. The letters follow him through his initial training, being posted to Egypt and being captured as a Prisoner of War. He was kept at the camp which was the first camp to be liberated.
