Unopened love letters written by French families to sailors captured by the British in an 18th Century conflict have been read for the first time.

They were written by fiancees, wives, parents and siblings from 1757 to 1758 during the Seven Years War.

Prof Renaud Morieux, from Cambridge University, transcribed the letters.
