Glossop family of Heage and Belper Second World War letters from Flight Sergeant Joseph Glossop to his wife, Grace in Belper Approximately 250 letters to Miss Grace Reaney, later Mrs Glossop from her 'life partner' and 'loving hubby Joe', dated 1941-1946, mostly sent from within the UK, including Northern Ireland and Shetlands, whilst on active service with the RAF, plus some sent via Airmail from Gibraltar. With a small number of items from other correspondents, and what appears to be a list of wedding gifts (ranging from 6d to 2s 4d) from 'workmates in "A" shop" and studio portrait that is perhaps Grace. Also including a selection of Edwardian and First World War postcards, and German map of mid-western Germany marked with dates [of arrival] in November and December 1918, perhaps taken from a diary the pages of which are attached. The postcards are mostly blank and do not relate to Derbyshire, particularly relating to Salisbury, Dunford Bridge and Horsforth, as well as Western Europe, probably collected during First World War; they include a photograph of John Alfred Riley (born 1886, an Insurance Clerk from Nottingham) in Summer 1909, and a postcard addressed to A.V. Riley at Park House, Horsforth, Leeds in August 1914. Also includes a photograph of Lieutenant William Hodgson Braithwaite, 7th Battalion West Yorks regiment in full dress uniform.
