He later told BBC Radio Wiltshire: “It thought it was so funny and just so charming that in this incredibly rules-based, highly regulated country that we now live in, an old-fashioned letter sent the old-fashioned way without a postcode still gets to you.”The letter was delivered to Mr Holland in time for a talk he was giving in his home city about his new book on the war's Italian campaign, Cassino ’44.“The really lovely thing is the letter was from a 102-year-old called Judy Bray about her husband Charlie, to whom she was married for 71 years before he sadly died.
