Series consists of correspondence exchanged by H. Eric Bergman, his wife, Norma, and their son, Eric J., while the latter was serving with the Canadian Army Overseas during the Second World War, as well as a few letters received by the son from his friends during the same period. The letters written by Eric J. Bergman document his training as a gunner in 1943 with the Royal Canadian Artillery in Manitoba and Gordon Head, British Columbia, his hospitalization in Nova Scotia, 1943-1944, while his transfer overseas was delayed after he contracted diphtheria, being sent overseas in March 1944 and his experiences in English camps while waiting for orders to go to the front, joining the Central Mediterranean Forces in Italy in September 1944, where he again succumbed to diphtheria and was hospitalized, and his return to England in April 1945 and eventual return to Winnipeg in 1946. Included is a calendar he kept of the correspondence. The letters sent by H. Eric Bergman to his son date from 1943 and 1945-1946, and are largely about family and domestic matters, but include some references to art in general and to his own work.
