image Extensive WWII Romantic Correspondence Between an RCMP Constable John Dean Dunbar and Fiancée (Later Wife) Rhoda B. Parlow, housed in large box. Many hundreds of stamped envelopes (with original contents), about two-thirds written by Dunbar (mostly from Western Canada) and one-third written to Dunbar, plus about 35 miscellaneous letters to the Dunbars after their marriage. Of particular historical interest are the letters written by Dunbar from Quebec City while he was attached to the RCMP security detachment at the First Quebec Conference (August 17-24, 1943) which involved Prime Minister MacKenzie King, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Eight of these envelopes have blacked out postal date stamps. Sadly, Sgt. Dunbar died in 1957 at the young age of 42 and he is buried in the Pinecrest Cemetery in Ottawa. Also includes related details. (Image)
