Description
Roger Mortimer's Vintage Letters from the POW Years offers a unique perspective on life as a prisoner of war. Commissioned into the 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards in 1930, Mortimer spent eight years stationed at Chelsea Barracks before being captured by the Germans in May 1940. During his five-year incarceration, Mortimer wrote a series of witty and irreverent letters to his friend Peggy Dunne, painting a vivid portrait of life as a POW. These letters, written from May 1940 to late 1944, showcase Mortimer's steadfast optimism and good humour in the face of adversity. A fascinating and captivating account of one man's experience during World War II, Vintage Letters from the POW Years is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history or personal memoirs.
