Prisoner's Postcards

As part of a film project called Then & Now, pensioner Eric Hayes remembers the postcards from home he received whilst a WWII Prisoner of War.


Transcript: speech marks I don't remember exactly when mum and dad sent me this photograph, but I think it was later in the war. These photographs are - one in particular - of mum and dad in the jubilee crowd in Buckley. They also sent me several of St Matthew's Church. The photographs that I've had from mum and dad were sent to me whilst I was a prisoner of war. It was a piece of home from home. We were forced to miss the jubilee, well, I was, for six years, whilst I was in the prisoner of war camp. Just to receive the photographs that mum and dad sent was quite an event. speech marks
