My Grandfather, Peter Alan MacLellan served in the Second World War. I was too young to remember when he passed away, but I often think of him, especially this time of year. 
 
Below is my great-grand mother's purse that she used to hold letters from four of her sons that were serving overseas during the war.

This is one of the letters from the purse. It's from her son John, who was killed in the Dieppe Raid, August 19th, 1942.
