  • Letters in a Shoe Box
    LETTERS IN A SHOE BOX 1940-1945 Naomi Schamroth Rapeport 2017 1 LETTERS IN A SHOE BOX 1940-1945 Foreword Julian Meyer was born in Johannesburg on the 18th August 1918. He was schooled at the King Edward VII School for Boys. He went on to study law at the University of the Witwatersrand. He interrupted his studies when he volunteered to join the Union Defence Force (U.D.F.) at the beginning of the Second World War (WWII). He was assigned to the Transvaal Scottish Second Battalion. During the five years of the War he wrote numerous letters to his family in Johannesburg. These letters were kept by his mother, Fanny Meyer. They were subsequently given to Julian. They were kept in a shoebox in his garage at the family home in Pietersburg. Following Julian’s death on the 6th September 1993, the letters were taken for safe keeping by his second son, Ralph. It was Ralph’s intention to compile a document of his father’s experiences. Unfortunately, this never happened. The letters were subsequently scanned by the family as PDF documents. In 2015 I was given copies of these documents. The letters are beautifully written and give the reader an interesting overview of the experiences of a soldier and prisoner of war (POW).
