Letters home

Do you have any wartime correspondence you'd like to share with us? To mark Remembrance Sunday we'd like to read letters, postcards and emails from the frontline.

It may be that you have letters from family members from World War I and II, or perhaps more recent emails, e-blueys and text messages to/from a loved one serving in the forces abroad.

From big emotional events to the minutiae of daily life, drop us a line on ipm [at] bbc.co.uk

Listen to the story of one very moving letter read on Radio 4's BH programme.The letter was written by 19-year-old Cyrus Thatcher from Reading who died recently in Afghanistan.

No really. The BBC has a new blog sign-in called BBC iD. If you add a comment from now on you'll be prompted to upgrade your account(s). You only have to do it once and it should be quick (was for me).

One note of caution though: if you've got multiple BBC accounts, you'll only be able to upgrade one of them to BBC iD using your preferred username and email address.

If you have any questions or need a hand, you can get help over at the BBC Internet Blog
