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.

I was really looking forward to reading these letters. Unfortunately I cannot make out a lot of the words.Is there any way someone can type the letters out so that it is more ledgible to the readers?
We decided, for better or worse, to publish the letters in as an authentic form as possible. The penmanship was, in our opinion, reasonably good. It takes a little effort to decipher some portions. If you have difficulty please feel free to send me an email at currieproject@rogers.com
