RETURN HOME LETTER, 1946

THIS PHOTOGRAPHS ARE OF MY GRANDFATHER,

RONALD THOMAS CHARLES WILLS, SERVING IN WWII, IN 1945.

HE WAS ALWAYS ‘GA’ TO ME. I THINK HE LOOKS SO HANDSOME IN THESE PHOTOGRAPHS. FOR CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR, MY FATHER GAVE ME A GOLD WATCH GA USED TO WEAR & IT IS ONE OF MY MOST TREASURED POSSESSIONS & WHICH I WEAR WITH PRIDE.

HE USED TO CALL ME HIS ‘BABY DOLL’ & I MISS HIM EVERYDAY.

TO ALL DIGGERS, PAST & PRESENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE.

TRUE BRAVERY. TRUE HEROES.

TO MY GA,

THINKING OF YOU TODAY & ALWAYS.

I MISS YOU. I LOVE YOU.

LOVE SAMANTHA, YOUR BABY DOLL. X


LEST WE FORGET
