Can I trace this American WW2 GI from his letters?
Duncan replied to Duncan's topic in United States of America
Really, that's interesting! He mentions a lot about coming back on furlough and how he'd love to take her dancing again. 😉 She kept the letters all these years. Wonder if they ever met again? -

Can I trace this American WW2 GI from his letters?

Hello everyone, I bought a lovely set of letters sent from France just after D-Day by an American GI to a housewife in England he's been billeted with.

THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!
- FOR SALE
- ORIGINAL
Ok, so this is the first time I've tried selling on this forum, so you might have to bare with me! I'm selling off a few things from my collection to raise some extra cash and have these for sale. Not really sure of their price so have gone in at £15. Postage within the UK £3.50 recorded. Not sure if I can sell these outside the UK as they might be restricted given they're Nazi and may be banned in other countries - not sure, I might be wrong? Payment can be done by PayPal.£15.00
