A woman is looking to get in touch with penpals she had during the second world war.<\/p>\n
Ann Taft worked at a factory in Oldham where the Lancaster Bombers were made during the fighting, the Carmarthen Journal reports.<\/p>\n
She ended up corresponding to a number of armed forces members she met while working as a shorthand typist at the building.<\/p>\n
"As the lads left to go into the forces they used to write to all the girls. I was writing to the air force, the marines and other services," Ms Taft observed.<\/p>\n
She got particularly friendly with a group of people from a Welsh regiment and would love to reconnect with them.<\/p>\n
People who are keen to keep in contact with British soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan can become their penpals, as the personal touch of letter writing is a great way to boost the morale of troops.<\/p>\n
