In 1943 my mother Patricia Savage was a young woman of 19 amid World War II. She passed away just over two years ago at the age of 97 having experienced more things in her life than most of us could imagine.
Going through many years of Mum’s photographs and papers I came across an old notebook that had some writings from 1943. I’d like to share those writings with you.
Now Mum’s handwriting is a little hard to decipher but I hope I’ve done it justice. The first of the notes. It’s a poem called At Lea, written in September 1943, which you can find in the next post.
The notes are as follows;
I Remember, do You? (October 1943)
To a Sailor (November 1943)
Buddy (November 1943)
The Answer (November 1943)
Twenty-Four Days Leave (November 1943)
