Between 1941 and 1945 Wynne Brooks waited for her young soldier husband Mickey to return to her. In all the time he was away she wrote to him, first daily, then weekly, never knowing his whereabouts. In 1945, at the end of the war, her letters were returned, their messages of comfort and love unread, bearing the War Office stamp 'No Trace'. Wynne's letters, discovered by her niece Jenny Davis in 1988, offer a valuable glimpse into the hearts and minds of the women waiting at home.
