Lt. J.G. Sauvage to the widow of Wilfred Arthur Elliot

"His last journey was as fine as we could make it. The floral tributes from his many friends were beautiful tropical flowers. He lies at rest in one of the more beautiful spots on the island, a well cared-for garden of rest, beautiful trees and flowers bloom all the year round"

Betts Edgar to her sister Freda

"He came to see me last night here at the hospital, laden with a very impressive bouquet of red roses. Its all very impressive. It may last, but if it doesn’t it will be yet another happy memory of my sojourn in the East."

Vivian Morton (nee Daniell) to David Kingston

"The sights and above all the stench of those early days I shall most certainly never forget, it's marvellous what one can survive."

John James Smith to Peggy Anne Smith

"I'm now in a most magnificent hospital in Belgium in a very comfortable bed with crisp white sheets and pale blue Whitney blankets. Real live nurses, some quite attractive ones too, tending to our wishes."

Rhoda Jones to her parents

"It's heartbreaking to enter the public shelters. Mothers and children looking so pale, wanting to sleep and all saying why don't we bomb Berlin?"
