These are the fascinating personal letters of Wilfred Sydney James Thornington who became a senior civil servant and Deputy Director of Audit during World War II. The first batch of letters were sent from New York from late 1942 to mid-1943. The second batch were sent from Cairo late 1943 to mid 1945. The final batch were sent in the middle of 1953 from Washington DC. These letters capture the wartime atmosphere both in New York and the Middle East. His contribution to the Lend Lease programme at the Exchequer Audit Department is covered together with it's importance in World War II and how it worked in practice.
