That’s How It Was, by Sheila White
A heart warming story of a great love that blossomed during the difficult times of the last war.
Sheila (my gran) met her husband to be, Chalky, on a dull day, a day that changed her life.
This is a remarkable account of two people’s lives with all the drama of the last war and, for Sheila at least, the adjustment to a new country and her eventual tragic loss. told with honesty, it is a story that rivals all the great love stories of the past.
This will take a while to type up, links to chapters to follow, in the meantime, you might like some of her poems:

If I recall it was a vanity press run and was published in Great Britain by Buckland Press Ltd., Dover, Kent (since dissolved). Also cites Regency Press (London and New York) Ltd, London.
