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.

87 1/2 Wellington London today
This is the approximate location of the home Mable occupied in 1918. The house no longer exists and has been replaced by businesses. This is actually the intersection of Wellington Rd and South Street in London. I am looking for a photo taken near that time of this location. If anyone has one, please contact us.
