Letters of Love and War, a correspondence between an army surgeon
and his wife, capture both the battlefront as well as the
day-to-day experiences of a central New York family waiting for a
husband and father to return home. Dr. Sydney Stringer's letters
from North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany offer glimpses of the
horrors of war as he saw them. They are invaluable documents
describing World War II from the perspective of a surgeon in an
evacuation hospital as it moves behind the battle lines. Stringer
describes the changing scenes of postwar France and Germany,
interprets the ordinary soldier's reaction to seeing
prisoner-of-war stockades and concentration camps, and how troops
responded to Churchill's announcement that the war had ended. The
letters of Helen Dann Stringer reveal a personal, yet universal
saga of the war from the homefront. Warm and lively, her letters of
encouragement reveal changing scenes as she describes life with
family, friends, and their four young children in what seemed to
her an unending homefront war without men.
