Letters to Love, Hometown and Sun-drenched Pastures At the end of 1942, after the British Chris Barker was sent to North Africa as a signalman, in order to survive the dark war days, he began to write letters to old colleagues. Bessie Moore's warm replies illuminated his life, and the two fell in love. Although they did not meet each other during this period, the relationship established through letters was equally deep, and a year later the two began talking about marriage. After World War II, the two married and raised two sons together. The content of the correspondence between the two was interesting and true, full of British humor and the flavor of the times. More than 500 of them have been preserved, and some are included in this book, vividly restoring the ordinary and great love between the two.
