Harry and Eileen's expressions of undying love are among the heirlooms gathered for a digital history project.
Harry Pearson kept Eileen Pleasants in his heart after a chance meeting in a pub and they would marry after the war Posted to northern France in the Allied push after D-Day, Harry Pearson wasn’t going to let the ‘growl of the guns’ stand in the way of a budding romance. The Tommy’s saving grace was Eileen Pleasants, the young woman he had spent his last hours in England with before sailing across the Channel.
In one of her letters, Eileen wrote: ‘I wouldn’t be without you for all the tea in China; you’re simply super and I’m mighty proud that you picked me out to be your sweetheart. ‘Don’t worry dearest, I’m going to do my utmost to make you forget all about the Army and if I have my way it won’t even take me a week to do it. ‘The past six years we must put behind us and God willing darling, it’ll be the next sixty years that we’ll have to think about.
