On her mother's death Christine Kelly inherited a collection of more than 500 letters – correspondence between members of her family during World War I and World War II. The letters her grandmother sent from the front and others exchanged by family members during World War II are a moving document of the times and reveal how the wars changed her family’s fortunes and impacted the lives of her ancestors. In the second part of an interview for Czech Radio Christine Kelly talks about the collection of letters relating to the Second World War. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/clam_gallasove.jpg?timestamp=1590763160 https://english.radio.cz/clam-gallas-family-correspondence-provides-moving-testimony-two-world-wars-part-8287942 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
