Been talking to my Missus' family...
Her Grandfather worked for the RAF breaking Japanese codes in the Far East, her great-Uncle was a runway layer for forward airfields in Italy. He watched Vesuvius erupt in '43. Her Grandmother (who was English) had a collection of letters from various RAF and Army soldiers wishing her a happy birthday!
Very interesting for an Irish family...
