A collection of letters from Pte Dick Armer to his wife Mabel who he frequently referred to as "Dear old girl". His three children were Billie, Marjorie and Dorothy who was born while he was away.
Dick had promised to "write every day" and, with few exceptions, kept his promise. The letters were written during WW1 from Camp Borden in Canada, on the train to Halifax, on board ship to England, from Witley Camp and France.

thank you so much for this site. I came across the article in The Londoner, and have quickly become a follower today. The glimpse into the past is so incredibly exciting,not to mention the personal nature of the letters. It really creates a remarkable time in history, during a very undesiralbe time. I am so excited to continue to read on, almost compelled. Thank-You for bringing this beautiful piece of history to modern times. It really makes you appreciate what is important in life, especially at this time of year.
