"Darling the hour has almost arrived. We leave tonight ... I am
feeling it very much but I must not weaken. I must be brave. I
think that will be the best attitude to take for us all" Harold
Bishop is called up to the army in 1941, aged 39. He leaves behind
his wife Joan, his children and his livelihood as butler of the
grand Cardoness House. What follows is a tender and revealing
collection of letters home. Despite the restrictions of the
censors, Harold describes his time in a training barracks in
Edinburgh, his health and clothes, and his eventual deployment to
North Africa. His letters also reveal glimpses of Joan's
experiences, making this a valuable social history and a record of
a soldier's service. A tender and revealing collection that shares
the life and cares of a soldier and his family during WWII
