What a sad little collection

Saw it on evil bay, she must have treasured his letters for years in the book he gave her, possibly all that is left of a life shattered, very poignant.

Members of the ‘Not So Few’……

My mother had a boyfriend during the war who was killed during a night raid on Germany. My father recently passed away and my Mother went into care. Going through my mothers effects, I found some mementos. Folks today often lose sight of just how young everyone was.
Such things were common. War is such a waste of life – for all sides.

It’s sweet that she kept it all for so long.
Very sad though.
