My beautiful Byron,

Today is a special day. It is the 75th anniversary of the D Day landing. When we (The Allies, Britain, South Africa, America, Greece and lots more) finally struck back at Hitler in a final battle that ended WW2 when Hitler married Eva Braun in a bunker in Berlin, before shooting her in the head a day later. That was his last act of WW2 before killing himself. And the war was over.

Did you know, Bushy park, where we walked and played for so many years, was where the American commander, Eisenhower, made plans for the D Day landing in Normandy. The year was 1944. The day was 6 June. The Germans were finally being beaten after failing in Russia. And some 2 million soldiers gathered to recapture Europe from Hitler and his army. On this day 75 years ago, the invasion began in Normandy. It is a huge memory for me and for many people who were involved in the war as I was, because my dad fought in the British Army against Hitler.

….The letter is no longer archived here. The entire content of Letters to Byron is a book, available in Paperback or Kindle.
