In 2004 a father entrusted a small, blue box to his son asking him not to open it until after he and his wife were dead; four years later he opened it and discovered over 500 letters written during WW !! beginning in Libya in 1943 through to May 1946. During this time Chris and Bessie met only twice but what began as a friendship very soon became a romance. These letters are unique, unpretentious and deeply moving.
