Mr Peter Lemon a Friend of St George's Chapel and 100 years young, was interviewed by BBC South East News on Thursday  6th May.  Peter flew 50 mission as a Wireless Operator /Air Gunner and the BBC asked specifically to speak with him.  Unfortunately few receive that  Regional News which showed Peter in the Chapel and some of the letters on display in the Museum. Peter spoke about how important letters were to him and to all in the forces during the war. No other form of communication was possible then and letters were treasured -  there weren't computers,  mobile phones, or any instant form of electronic communication  for the troops. A  phone in a family home was rare  and when possible people used a  red GPO telephone box in the street .
