A Letter from Albie


 
BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Editor's Pick BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   A Letter from Albie
A Letter from Albie
A letter from my father's best mate during WW2. Albie died five months after this letter was written, and my father kept all of his letters in an old black box. They were kindred spirits even after so many years.
