Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces 5 Dec 43      My Very Own Darling, I think that this is about the fourth night in succession I have written to you.   Amazing isn’t it?   I thought I would try and write as many letters as I could in the next few days, however, for Dec 8 is the last day of posting Air Mail letter cards here to ensure their delivery by Christmas.   At least that is what the Army ...

Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces 4 Dec 43                  My Very Own Darling,   I was so excited when I got your letter this evening & learned that you were at last a fully fledged nurse, my Darling.   I only wish I was near enough to show you in a certain way (that you can guess) how really pleased I am.   I wish I could give you a real big hug & kiss in...

Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces 3 Dec 43        My Very Own Darling, I had rather a hectic morning, this morning.   I had to go the nearest town today on business & so I took the opportunity of buying some powder & lipstick for you.   Don’t get too enthusiastic however, Dear, for being pessimistic, I am sure it won’t be the right shade.   I certainly isn’t peach, by any means! H...

G.H.N.                                                                                          (74) 3-12-43               11-45 pm My Own Darling, I have been trying to write a sea-letter to you for the last four days but have got no further than the first two lines.   Having a spare half hour to-night I decided that I would write you this air-letter and make another attempt at writing your sea-letter in the near future. I have no fresh news for you since I last wrote at the beginning of the week. ...

Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces 30 Nov 43      My Very Own Darling, It has at last caught up with me!   I am sitting here tonight with my eyes & nose simply streaming.   I have got the office cold.   I don’t suppose I can grumble, really, for I am the last out of nine to get it! Colds are so annoying, however, & make one feel quite irritable.   Some asprin & hot lemon appears...

G.H.N.                                                                                                      (73) 26-11-43      My Very Own Darling, I am starting this in the very early hours of the morning – 2 a.m. to be precise.   I was wondering what you would be doing and thought that you would most probably be in bed.   Afterwards I remembered that your time will be ahead of ours so you will most probably have started work. I am afraid that in my spare moments – and others that are no...
