I hope Harry is alright! <BR/>My love just came back from afghanistan after 6 months, and things seemed to be just the same for Harry and him... he eagerly awaited my letters and asked me to send his favourite chocolate and salami ;) And he kept all the letters and read them when things got too rocky. It helped him to get through the hard times!<BR/><BR/>So, Ethel, Jack, Kate, keep writing! And Harry, I keep my fingers crossed for you...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-53380213182977310792008-04-12T15:12:00.000+01:002008-04-12T15:12:00.000+01:00Fantastic idea... great blog...I'm from Switzerlan...Fantastic idea... great blog...<BR/><BR/>I'm from Switzerland and in today's (Saturday, 12.

Crumpet <BR/>I was in the RAF during the first gulf war and our families sent us Blueies<BR/><BR/>We used to keep them in our pockets and read them time and time again, specially when things were dull.<BR/><BR/>I remember one letter from my Girl friend at the time, It just used to keep me going when things were honestly so dull. <BR/><BR/>She remembers writting the letter spending time over a number of days trying to express what she wanted to say.<BR/><BR/>All of this is just not possible with email and I will assure you we keep this letter forever. <BR/><BR/>Btw shes my wife now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-57410396311891378262008-04-05T22:14:00.000+01:002008-04-05T22:14:00.000+01:00I am a letter writer and an envelope artist.

I have a compulsion to put words on real paper. <BR/><BR/>This blog-- in addition to being fascinating, reminds me of why I write. Letters ARE appreciated.Tea N.

He often says that he will write more next time - it is like a paralysis of the mind has set in. But it is loud and clear how very special were those letters from home. France left an indelible impression, didn't it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
