This is a letter from my father to my mother and her parents informing them of Victory in Europe dated May 7th 1945.
My father was presumably in Rome. It was received by my mother in Levenshulme, Manchester
I found the letter, written on fragile airmail paper in my parents effects after they died along with his medals and other memorabilia from the war, including a programme from a Gracie Fields concert held in the Opera House Rome on Sunday Nov 11th -Armistice day- 1945.
The attached photo is of my father – George Scott Lamb- in his army uniform and with his medals aged 88 years approx.
