These letters were published 70 years to the day from when they were first written during the Phoney War (1939) and the Battle of France (1940). They were sent by my Great Uncle, mainly to his father, and provide a fascinating insight into the day to day life of a British soldier in the opening phase of World War II. I have also included information about the AASF and the Battle of France to put my Great Uncle's service in context.
