Nurses Home,                                               General Hospital Nottingham 8-3-44 My Very Own Darling, I posted you an air-letter yesterday but thought that I would write a sea letter to-day as I know how I like receiving sea letters. Believe it or not Darling, the last sea letter I received from you only took two weeks to come.   I received it yesterday together with an air letter which you had written the previous day.   (The day previous to writing the sea letter, I mean). So your Adjutant is returning to England.   He certainly deserves to if he has been abroad six years.   Gosh!   I bet he hardly knows whether he is on his head or his heels.   I should think that by now he will have covered most of his journey. How I wish you were coming with him.   What rejoicings there would be! I hope the photo you wer...

Monday, 6 March, 1944 - Stan's Letter

2364226, Sergt. S. Bristow, Headquarters, 15 L of C Signals, Cen Med Forces                                                                            120(?) 6 Mar 44 My Very Own Darling, The last couple of days seem to have gone very pleasantly.   All I seem to have done is welcome the Post N.C.O. and read your letters.   I’ve had no less than six in this period.   Three of them were very nice sea letters, the last but one month old, and three air mails.   So I feel on the top of the world today. It is really heaven Darling to know that I have you and all your love.   It is forever ...

Monday, 6 March, 1944 - Grace's Letter

G.H.N. 6-3-44                                                                                 (105) My Very Own Darling, I was very thrilled to received two air letters from you this morning.   I did not receive an air-letter from you at all last week but of course your cable and Christmas letter arrived. One letter was dated the 18 th and the other the 19 th of Feb.   So, the cable I sent you was delayed because of the address was it?   Well, well!   This time Darling I hardly think that I was to blame because I did not write the address I printed it.   I know th...

G.H.N.                                                                                (104) 3-3-44 My Very Own Darling, Here we are, in March again.   This year seems to be going quickly, though it cannot go too quickly for me.   I can hardly realise that Eric will have been married 3 years on the 22 nd of this month and that the 22 nd is your birthday too, Darling.   Yes, time certainly flies though I must admit there are times when it simply crawls along. The sea letter you wrote me on Christmas day arrived yesterday*.   It just goes to prove that “everything comes to...

Still...

Monday, 28 & Tuesday, 29 February, 1944

G.H.N.                                                                                (103) 28-2-44 10p/m My Very Own Darling, Thank you for your cable which arrived this afternoon.   I was so pleased to hear that you eventually received mine, though it got to you three weeks later than I intended – that is according to your cable which is dated Feb: 24 th .   The A.P.O. have a marvellous way of working things at times, don’t they? However, Darling, the main point is that you have received it which is all that really matters. It is rather late in the day to start letter writing...

2364226 Sergt. S. Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals                                                                                      117. Cen Med Forces 26 Feb 44 My Very Own Darling, The only thing of note during the past few days has been the arrival of a very nice letter from you, date 17 Feb 44. I had to smile at the note you put in brackets after the description of the shawl that Vera is knitting.   Do you remember what it was?   I think you must have been thinking a long way ahead when you wrote it!! Of course you didn’t bore me by the d...
