My Dad was a desert rat with monty's 8th army during the war, before i was born, he and my mum wrote letters to one another for the 6 long years he was away and when they died, i read them, i cant tell you how moving they were, i have seldom been so moved and as my parents i couldnt imagine them being young and in love - well you dont do you - i have her wedding dress, his war medals and these letters, along with photos and other momentos i shall always keep............
