the telegram telling us that a torpedo sank your ship. I used to imagine you swimming home to us, getting a little nearer every day, but I know you will never come home.
I tell Tommy all about you. Especially how much you love the sea and ships.
I didnât believe that this little house by the railway would ever feel like home, but it does. I didnât believe that Grandad, Mum, Tommy and I could make a family, but we do.
I donât need to write to you anymore, but Iâm going to anyway. Even when my hair is as white as Mrs. Bottomlyâs.
Mumâs calling. Iâve got to run.
Keddyâs has sausages.
Lots of love always,
Peggy
Jacqueline Halsey grew up in England. As a young adult she lived for five years on a sugar mill in Natal, South Africa. In recent years, as she watched images of war on television, she realized that her mother and older brother were living in a war zone in London back in the â40s.
Peggyâs Letters
is her way of weaving her motherâs wartime memories into a book for todayâs children. Jacqueline lives in Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia.
