When Wyn met Irene on a gun site near Cardiff in 1943, it was love at first sight. But this book is not just a love story. The letters written by Wyn to Irene, and narrated by their eldest daughter, provide a unique view of key moments during World War Two at the instance they were happening, as well as an engaging insight into life in the Army while shooting down doodlebugs in Kent and then overseas in India. By understanding the past, we can appreciate the resilience of those who lived through the war, inviting us to reflect on our own history and relationships in today’s very uncertain times.
