Letters during WW2

I hope you dont all think this is too far off thread. This is a copy of a postcard sent by my wifes uncle during ww2. My Brother in Law has the original. I had this copy because I am considering converting it into a X Stitch chart, but to keep all the detail it will turn out 4'6"x3' and that is 27 stitches to the running inch. It has a faint message on the back which I will post when and if the brother in law recovers. He is very ill at present
 
I hope I am not encroaching but came across this lovely letter from uncle Norman[moms brother] to my brother during the second world war. TTFN. Jean.
 
When my mother died in 1991 I found two large old biscuit tins full of letters that my father had sent her during the war, dating from 1939 to 1945, from France, Egypt, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
 
John how lovely as Jean says keep them safe.
We visited the Black Country Museum last week and while visiting the tilted cottage, the lady there was a friend of the original family that lived there. She told us the last family who lived there found a bundle of love letters belonging to the original family. They decided no one should read them and burnt them.
 
A postcard my uncle George Bradley sent to his wife Ethel from Italy.
