Your grandfather's letters and some other items are in the AWM collection, some of which recently featured in our "<a href="http://www.awm.gov.au/exhibitions/loveandwar/" rel="nofollow">Of Love and War</a>" exhibition, which is currently touring Australia. It may come to a museum or gallery near you, so check the dates. You can also search for his material in our online <a href="http://www.awm.gov.au/search/collections/" rel="nofollow">database </a> by using the search term "Colin Simper". Emma Jones Hi Damien,

I'm just as crazy as anyone can be that's all. I just read your letter again dear and I tell you this much if only I could get the necessary money I'd bowl right into Woolworth's and spirit you off to get married now. Since... on my hands... I can fool about a bit so don't imagine I've gone completely out of my head. Its just these are the only words I can think of.. Gee but I'm probably the happiest man in camp. How will it be when we are first engaged and then married. Picture me darling as I write around and around in a circle I love you I love you.. I tell you personally tonight you'll hear nothing else. Still you won't get this till tomorrow.. well dear I'll leave... I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you Good luck with your project David Samantha, Here’s a transcript as best as I can make out:

It is good to see that men involved in war still had the time to show their affection for their wives. Is there any chance the letter shown in the picture could be written down? I am doing a school assignment on letters from war and I would love to read this letter. Thanks That is so sweet.
