Dear old girl

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.

About Camp Borden

Historic marker at Camp Borden

Off duty at Camp Borden. This is a found photo and has no relation to Dick Armer other than that it shows boys in 1916 at Camp Borden. I believe the soldiers shown are from the 133rd Btn Norfolks Own. More information at
