Censor No 4285, Base Army Post Office 7-IV-1943: P/254523, R.A.I.M.N.S.R. Miss B.I. Lowe 97th General Hospital BNAF 4th April Dear Roselyn & Henry, Just a card to let you know that all is well in N Africa. It's becoming terribly hot here now. We expect to be leaving here in a day or two and move up; we are told everything is ready for us. We have had very few letters since arriving here - it takes ages to get mail through. I have met quite a few girls I know. It's nice to meet old friends and to have a long chat with them. This is really a delightful spot - everything seems so beautiful here, the flowers are really beautiful & it's lovely having fresh fruit & vegetables. I'm not able to tell you anything really. Hope you are all quite well. Love to all. Your loving Cousin, Rene. xxx. |

After the war, Rene married Kenneth Walter Price.
Tragically, in 1973, they were both killed in a motor accident when motoring toward Scotland on coast road.
