This is more than just a single letter, but a series of letters regarding my uncle James Chapman, who sadly died whilst held as a Prisoner of War by the Japanese. There are letters to and from his mother, alongside letters between his mother and the wife of James’ commanding officer. There are also letters from the Red Cross, the War Office and other relevant communications. My father, his brother could never talk about his brother and anytime a question was asked about my father just welled up, as he always saw him as his older brother, a young man going to war.
