My Mum has a collection of letters sent to her and her Mother from her Father during WW11. He was a dental assistant who travelled with a dentist in a mobile caravan across France and into Belgium and Holland. He was sent out after D day to treat injured service men with facial injuries.
My Mum who is 93 remembers the excitement of everyone and celebrations that followed VE Day. She remembers her Mother and Aunt hanging a huge Union Jack between the windows on the front of their house.
The letter attached was from Edwin to Nanette, cleverly written in rhyme, he went into the nearest town in Holland who were very pleased to see him as described in this wonderful letter
