I like to repost this each 11/11 with some variation.   August 19th, 1944 Dear Mr. Morrison:- Before you receive this letter you will have had a telegram informing you of the very sad loss of your son, Flying Officer W.H. Morrison. It is with regret that I write to you this date to convey [...]

Busing tonight over to Kotor on the Montenegro coast and then back up to Sarajevo and then over to [...]
