Thursday, 25 November, 1943 - A Journey into Italy

2364226 Sergt S. Bristow                                                                             81 . Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces 25 Nov 43                My Very Own Darling, As I promised you in the air letter which I wrote last night & which you will no doubt have received some time ago, I have put together quite a long letter to describe to you my journey last week. Even the pages which follow do not describe to the full my experiences, but they will give you a vague idea of things as they occurred to me. Of one thing I am sure ...

Wednesday, 4 November, 1942

G. H. N. Wednesday, 10 a.m.     My Own Darling   I agree with you – this postal system certainly is a nuisance I did not receive your letter until Tuesday afternoon.   Never mind Darling – only two weeks and four days and I shall be with you for nearly a week!   I must tell you how much I am looking forward to it – are you getting excited or are you too busy to think much about it?

Sunday, 6 December, 1942 - Grace's letter

The constant search for paper to write on - tonight Grace is using letter-headed Hospital notepaper! Ward Castle 2 Nurses Home General Hospital Nottingham Dec. 6, 1.30 a.m.  My Precious Darling, What a lovely long letter I received this morning (sorry, I mean yesterday)   I would like to write you at least twelve pages back but I really have not the time. We have been so busy since Tuesday.   Wednesday night was hectic.   I stopped working once, for 10 minutes, and that was to have a cup of coffee and two biscuits. Thursday night was a little better, I managed to get about half an hour with my lecture book. We have not had a case in to-night – so far – but there is plenty of time for one to come in before 8 a.m. We have three irrational patients in – one to the right of my desk – one to the left – and one in a side ward.   I have to be popping in to her every five minutes or so, to see that she is not hopping out of bed.   Ah me – it’s a...
