Major Angier’s daughter Tabby, now 77, and his grandson Guy, stand to read excerpts of letters he wrote from the frontline.

Tabby was three when her father left for the war, and her memories of him are fractured.

At the time of her father’s death, people didn’t like to talk about wars, Tabby says.

“I used to think that if he’s lost, they’re going to find him,” Tabby says.

But as the years passed and she learnt what had happened, Tabby was told her father’s body would never be found.
