Letters of Love in WW2
From North Africa, back to Britain and then through Europe, Letters of Love in WW2 tells a unique story of the Second World War from the perspective of two real people that lived through it. Three months after they wed, Cyril and Olga Mowforth found themselves separated by the Second World War. Between 1940 and 1946, their love was kept alive on the pages of a thousand letters and postcards, found decades later by their family after they had both passed on. With their family’s poignant and emotional interviews bookending each episode and featuring the voices of Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Downton Abbey’s Amy Nuttall and Afropean author and broadcaster Johny Pitts, Letters of Love in WW2 gives an incredible first-hand insight into what it was like to live through this tumultuous period.

What a delightful surprise to find the beautiful letters read by such charming voices. I can see this couple writing their words to one another from different places in the world. Connected by love, surviving on conviction and a special quality of hardiness that was so unique to this generation of people. The hope of a future that would be free of fascism. What a great gift to be able to partake in this families legacy of words.
A wonderful podcast and thank you

This podcast is wonderful! My father and his three brothers all fought in WWII. I never heard any of them speak of it and I stupidly never asked. They are all dead now and unfortunately my questions fall on deaf ears. This podcast gives me a little peak into their worlds during the war. Thank you
