WIVES AND SWEETHEARTS: LOVE LETTERS SENT DURING WARTIME
Book ID/图书代码： 12290014B74591
English Summary/英文概要： What is it like to fall in love with a soldier? What is it like to be a soldier in love? Throughout history, those serving in the British Army have combined romantic relationships with their military duties. In wartime especially, all the usual emotions experienced by men and women in love are felt to a heightened degree. The sense of danger, and the sometimes years of separation imposed by service abroad, make the heartache of loss and the joy of reunion all the greater. For loved ones parted by war, writing has always been of crucial importance in maintaining contact. Even when it was difficult to send a letter, or not easy to explain feelings when one could, soldiers - be they generals, young officers or privates - have persevered. In a celebration of love on the frontline during the First and Second World Wars, the archives of the National Army Museum, replete with letters, diaries and photographs, are thrown open to reveal fascinating stories of soldiers, their wives and sweethearts. Love found, love lost and love enduring all have their place in the pages of this book.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 爱上一名军人是什么感觉？军人的爱情是什么样？纵观历史，在英国军队中服役的那些人将他们的军事责任和浪漫爱情结合在了一起。尤其在战争时期，男人女人在爱情中所经历的一切情感都升华了。对危险的感知，有时候是因为战争数年的分离，书信就成了保持联络的重要方式。即使寄出去很难，或者无法直抒胸臆，但是军人们——不管是将军，年轻的军官或者普通列兵——都坚持着。国家军事博物馆档案里存放着一战和二战前线的爱情盛典，许许多多的书信、日记和影像被公开，掀开了军人们和他们的爱人，他们的情人精彩的故事。在这本书里，旧爱重拾、天人两隔或是忠贞不渝的故事，应有尽有。(LNL)
