Joan Janes to her husband Jimmy

This is the last page of my mother’s letter to my father describing her experience of VE Day in Bristol.

He was in India, Mumbai from 1942 – 1945, a Sergeant in the RASC.

I have several hundred of his letters to her, plus a brief diary of his time in France in 1940. Very few of her letters survive as he did not bring them home. This and a few others survived as they were undelivered as it was too late in the war.
