Anzac letters: A soldier writes to his little girl

JOHN BISSET/Stuff Margaret Younger with some of many letters written to her and family by her father during the war. The many letters soldier Bob Riddell wrote home from places like Egypt and Italy during World War II reveal a man pining to be with his family at home. With Anzac Day approaching, Margaret Younger brings out all the letters Bob had written home to her mother Marjorie, brother Les and her. They sprawl all over a kitchen tabletop, letters written on paper given to the soldiers by the YMCA and National Patriotic Fund. Many of them have yellowed with age and the fountain pen ink has faded, but the feelings they convey remain strong.
