Ossie Nash b. 1909

Also known as Oswald Nash
  • Artist ,
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
An artist who communicated his daily life through his hand decorated envelopes and letters that he sent to his family during WWII. They must have been a source of great joy and interest to his loved ones and surely would have brought their lives closer together at such a fraught time. His letters and envelopes are carefully preserved, but sadly none of his wife's replies remain.
