I was inspired by a conversation I had with shortfinals in his recent diary on WW II era RAF aircraft to pull out some correspondence between my great-grandmother, "Aunt May", and her niece Dorothy. This correspondence speaks to the impoverished and ruined state Britain found itself in after the War, and how families separated by the Atlantic for decades came back together to help one another. This will be the first in a series and I'm hoping that anyone reading who has a similar story to tell will share.
Follow me over the fold for some history, and the first letter from Dorothy to Aunt May...
