My cousins found in my Uncle's office pretty much every letter my grandfather sent to my grandmother during his time overseas. My eldest cousin's first inclination was to put them in the trash. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and they were sent to me. Because of regulations, he can't say a lot. Mostly the letters concern whether my grandmother received his army allotment and could she please send him some cigarettes. There are a few hints of activity but nothing specific. I'm currently typing them all up for readability.
I'm currently going through his letters from Dec 1942. What's amusing to me most is that my grandfather is really concerned that will people will not understand that why hasn't sent them Christmas cards and will be mad at him. His unit was currently chasing the Germans and Italians through Libya. They were moving every couple of days to a new air strip while facing attacks on the camps. My grandfather was worried about getting his Christmas cards sent out.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
