Description
A collection of personal letters written by Phil Phillipps to his mother Louie (Louisa) Phillipps (nee Harper) and niece Barbara Taylor at home in New Zealand while he was overseas serving with the 2nd N.Z.E.F.
Typical of required censorship, the letters (aerographs and airgraph messages) are devoid of war detail and describe the weather, food and news of people known to the family.
