The following is something my Father 1521794 Flight Sergeant Patrick Joseph John Byrne wrote to his wife Doris between the sixth of July 1942 and the first of November 1944.
“It is indeed a strange life when a man who loves a woman as much as I love you darling, can’t live with her and and that they both can’t do as they please, all because a man named Hitler started a war, believe me my darling he is going to pay dearly for all this, and I shall be there to give a helping hand when that day comes along. It will be one of the greatest pleasures of my life-time. I may go down doing my best to knock hell out of him, but believe me my darling, there are plenty more fellows waiting to step into my shoes and carry this job of ours to a successful conclusion, and have no doubts darling we are going to do it, we must, to make this a decent world to live in, and so that everybody, apart from us darling, can live in peace and go their own particular way about life.”
