When war broke out in 1939, my father, Ed Gallagher, joined the
Royal Australian Air Force-he wanted to be "doing something to give
Adolf a smack in the eye." In very short order, he found himself
flying over the Bay of Biscay in a Sunderland flying boat,
transmitting Morse code and searching for U-boats, while often
engaged in intense air-to-air skirmishes with German fighter
planes. His detailed diaries describe the sometimes thrilling,
sometimes boring days of men at war. His letters to my mother, who
he had recently fallen in love with, reveal not only his boundless
love, but also the unbearable suffering that separation from loved
ones brings. After my mother's death, fifty-two years following the
end of the war, my sister and I discovered 106 of Dad's letters
that Mum had kept in old shoeboxes ... and so began my "PS: Love
Me" journey. Ed's toned-down letters, intermingled with his
tell-it-like-it-is diary entries, convey a happy-sad tale of love,
separation, and loss, and of the horrible waste of war.
