As well as being a rare historical document, 'Notes To My Daughter' shows another side to the Second World War. It's written by a man who was torn between his duty to his country and his duty to his family. In a poignant turn of events, at every crossroads Alexander Pierce chose his family, not least his only daughter, Christine.
