Veronica Jewell to her fiancé John Moverley

This letter was written by my mother, Veronica Moverley ( nee Jewell), to my father John Moverley, before they were married. It was written in the days before, during and after VE Day 1945.

She was a Telephonist in Cardiff at the time and he was serving in the RAF, based in Norfolk.

On page 8, she mentions ‘our John’, who was her brother. Sadly, he died in a Prisoner of War camp in Borneo, but the family only found this out after VE Day. The original letter was donated to the Glamorgan archives by my mother. Veronica unfortunately passed away October 2024.
