He met gay photographer Monty Glover before the Second World War, and they soon became life long lovers. Ralph’s letters to Monty, written during the war, are some of the most loving written between gay lovers. Ralph really did love the older Monty.

+ Charlie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks for all these great photos, Danny. By the way, Joe Ackerley's My Father and Myself (post #378) is a fascinating book, though I don't know if it is still in print (I read it at least 40 years ago). Joe was gay, but he found out as an adult that his father was bisexual and was one of those guardsmen who had provided services for wealthy gay gentlemen. marylander1940 and Danny-Darko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you, I would read Auden's "introduction" after you have read the book, because it seems to me to be more of a review--and a somewhat patronizing one--than a helpful introduction. marylander1940 and Danny-Darko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
