Chotie's daughter

'Chotie', my mother, kept every letter from her sweetheart Richard ('Dicker') Williams - they tell their story of World War 2 in the time that it happened, 80 years ago.

As Chotie's daughter I inherited her most precious possessions - her letters from Dicker. I have copied these out, edited them very slightly (punctuation, etc) and been fascinated by the story they tell . Adding family photos and research findings from World War 2, particularly about Dorset where Chotie lived, I hope they will be one day be published as a book. In the meantime this blog shares them with you 70 years after they were written.
