My Very Own Darling

A letter arrived from you this morning.  An air letter dated March 24th.  In it you said that I made you jealous when I told you that I was sitting in front of a blazing fire.  Darling, how I wish that you were able to be by my side again and put your arm around me – as you used to.  It seems so long ago doesn’t it, since we did that?

I posted my photograph to you this morning so I hope it reaches you safely and does not take long on its voyage.  I wish I could have posted myself instead!

You wondered how Vera was keeping – she is much the same.  Mother and Father too are keeping fairly well.  Father is still in the Grimethorpe Male Voice Choir.  Vera said in her letter this morning that they have several engagements, one being at Beckett Hospital.  Poor patients!

I found it interesting to read of your experience as a result of Mount Vesuvius erupting.  I have heard of it raining many queer things but never mud before!  It must be rather interesting to actually see the eruption.  It is a pity that you cannot get.  How long does it usually erupt for?  I have forgotten that part of my geography.  In fact, I doubt if I ever knew!

Vera enclosed in her letter a cutting from “John Bull”.  It was an extract from a letter you sent home when you first arrived in the country you are in at the moment.  However, I suppose your Mother will tell you all about it.

There was no other news from home and I shall probably be going for my week-end on the 7th so will get all the local gossip then.  Kit should start her “nights off” then so we should be able to travel to Doncaster together.

Well Dear, there is just about enough room left to tell you that I am still loving you and long for your return more and more every minute, every hour and every day.

Always yours Darling, Grace   xxxxxxx

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 ...

Cen Med Forces 20 Mar 44 My Very Own Darling, Yesterday was about the most spring-like day we’ve had yet, and at lunchtime I was sitting in the window bottom in the office taking full advantage of the sun, dozing a little and dreaming a little.   All I needed to feel really contented was a letter from you.   I had been sat there for only a few minutes when lo and behold, along came the Post N.C.O. with two lett...
