The hopes and dreams of too many young men ended abruptly during the course of World War Two. A great many families were to lose the love of someone they held dear, a love that could never be replaced.
I have compiled these letters for my sons Alasdair, Ian and Michael (Foxx) so that they can learn a little about the Grandfather they never knew.
The memory of his hope and his courage deserves to be kept alive for the grandchildren he would have loved had he been given the chance to know them.
Catch me a moment
Wrap it around my mind
Catch me a moment
But not one too unkind.
Catch me a moment
The nicest you can find,
Catch me a moment
Don’t leave it behind.
Trap it in my memory
So it won’t come undone,
Trap it in my memory
To shine like the sun.
Trap it in my memory
So we become as one,
Trap it in my memory
Until my day is done.
Jo Halleron 1992
