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.

From Mabel's to Richard's

Just for fun I ran the locations of Richard's and Mabel's homes in Ulverston on Google Earth. They only lived about 5 minutes from each other. Here's the Google Earth Map. Richard's home was on Clarence Street (yellow marker) and Mabel's on Sunderland Terrace (red marker)
