Between 20-30 September 1943.

For the moment, all goes well, my darling. But it will be even better. In action again. I find myself in the most fought over sector of the front, with the liberating troops of Europe, The battle is fierce. The most important thing is that our air power is far superior to that of the enemy. It is very evident that the nazis can no longer do more than defend themselves.

I write these words from a trench and the sky is full of the sound of our vanquishing engines and the world around trembles and vibrates with the earth under the powerful blows of shells and bombs.

I recall by but, old times. And when the bombs burst, you are so near to me, Yvette darling, that fear leaves and I joke. My comrades are astonished, but they don’t know that you are with me.

Now there is an order to carry out. I must finish. I love you, darling, I love you with all my soul and body. Later I will write you a long letter. I want you to have news of me. I know nothing of you, since you left me in Alex.

Goodbye. I love you. I embrace you so very tenderly, little Yvette.

Your

Henri
