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.

From Facebook: Dawn Parker-Randall Heuston does his family get to see this great tribute to Dick?? Yesterday at 2:38pm · Like John P Sargeant They surely do! They have been on board from day one. I had a meeting with them several times along with Museum Strathroy Caradoc staff to make sure we were clear to publish the letters and to get additional photos etc. They were thrilled we wanted to publish the letters and wished us the best of success.
