I found the letter amongst many others my mother had written to her brother, Wally whilst he was serving in WW2 in Italy. It will be noticed that this particular letter was written after VE and VJ day, although he was unaware of the Japanese surrender.
The unfortunate ending is that on the 16th October 1945 a short time after this letter was written and received he died in a plane crash whilst taking off from an RAF Station in Napoli to return home. Its believed the aircraft, a Wellington, stalled on a flat turn after an overshoot on an emergency landing and caught fire, all on board died.
There are supposed to be 6 pages but page 5 is missing.
