Since the publication of my book Letters From Lavender Cottage, a Second World War biography, I have received a number of letters in which Sussex and Kent residents have recounted their own wartime experiences.

My correspondence has also included some letters from Canadian ex-soldiers who were stationed in these counties.

I am compiling these valuable recollections for my next book and would be very grateful if readers would care to contribute their own memories for publication.

They can write to me at my address, contact me by email (mail@victoriaseymour.com) or call me on 01424 424981.
