Constance May Carr-Jones to Stanley

I have all the original letters written by my Mother to my Father who enlisted in September 1939.

For the first years of the war he was based in England before going to India where he spent the remaining years of war, returning in 1946. My Mother was in a reserved occupation in their home city of Liverpool and her letters record her life there through the Blitz and to the celebrations as the wars ended. My Mother did not save his letters. I have transcribed all the letters and written a family history book based on the letters and what I have found out from Army records about my Father during this time. I am sending you a photo of the page from my book.

Interestingly, the wedding dress in the photo was loaned to the War Museum as part of an exhibition some years ago about war time brides.
