A forbidden love story set to the back drop of WW2. Gilbert Bradley and Gordon Bowsher wrote more than 600 letters about their love for each other from the front line.

Writing of their love for each other at a time when two men could only secretly express their feelings – the letters provide a fascinating insight into their lives and how social perception differs from today.
