Pilot from Adelaide who was shot down near Tobruk, Libya in 1941

This song is a true story of how my grandparents met during WW2. He was a pilot from Adelaide who was shot down near Tobruk, Libya in 1941 and taken as POW in Italy and Germany until 1945. During this time my grandmother, then a 15 year old school girl from London wrote to him as part of a program with the Red Cross. It’s amazing to me that words alone can bring two people together, over distance, war, uncertainty of all kinds. Anyway, it’s a proud part of my family’s story, and one I could hardly believe as a ten year old being told the tale by my Grandpa, which I still vividly remember today.
