In 1935 Winston Churchill wrote to his wife Clementine one of the great love letters still recounted to this day.
Though text and social media messages may be commonplace today, once upon a time letter writing was the way long-distance lovers could communicate.
This Valentine’s Day, a new project from the Australian War Memorial is calling on romantics for help to transcribe love letters from the past.
If you have a love of history and a thorough comprehension of cursive handwriting, the project seeks to discern the letters from Australian ex-servicemen and women.
Terri-Anne Simmonds, the head of the memorial’s digital experience, is calling for anyone with a sharp eye to get involved with the project.
“That poses a challenge, so that’s why we want to tap into a wide range of audiences, so those older people at home that can interpret that, we want to encourage them to help.”
