The Story introduction

These letters, exchanged between Edward Bennett of the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and his wife, Margaret Bennett of Halifax, span from June 1944 to the summer of 1945. Preserved carefully by their family, they offer a rare glimpse into the everyday lives of Canadians divided by the Second World War: the soldier on foreign soil and the loved one waiting at home.

The war is often remembered in headlines, statistics, and battles. Yet here it is lived on paper — in the mud of Normandy, in the blackout nights of Halifax, in longing, fear, and enduring love. Ed’s words reveal the grit of combat and the weary hope of a soldier pushing east through France, Belgium, and into Germany. Maggie’s voice shows us the other front: ration books, Red Cross shifts, the restless harbour, and the strain of waiting.

Read together, their correspondence is not only a record of war, but of devotion. Across twenty-four letters, what endures most strongly is not despair, but the promise of return. Their story reminds us that history is built as much on love and resilience as it is on battles and treaties.
