| A letter dated 22nd January 1945 from an unknown soldier "Tom" to his mother and father. Letter is mostly family and Christmas related, but contains seven beautiful photos of life as a soldier at an apparent tropical location. Shows many soldiers posing with their guns and heavy machinery, drinking, a group standing over wreck.
Very little is known about this letter. Envelope has a Gibraltar and King stamp, but soldiers appear to be in America uniform, and letter written in 'American' English. Most photos are stamped in ink on their backs by BASE 2452.
