If you are in London on a rainy Sunday, go visit the National Army Museum (quite unexpected, I know..): it is hosting a very moving exhibition called "Wives and Sweethearts". It is a small exhibition that will not take you hours, the admissions are free and the stories are so touching! Letters of hope, of love, of fear,  of engagement, sometimes misunderstandings, awkwardness because of the distance, births, and of course, deaths... Life in the most powerful and intense way one can experience it.

Until the 30 July 2011, at the National Army Museum

Royal Hospital Road
Chelsea
London SW3 4HT
