Some of my favourite letters from the First World War are those between Vera Brittain, Roland Leighton and other friends. Of course, this group was perhaps too literary and academic to be typical. That said, the light they shed on WWI is fascinating.
Brilliant to meet another fellow historian/blogger on WordPress!

Best wishes,

How wonderful this collection is! It must have taken many long hours of dedication to put this site together. Thank you. It struck me that my Grandfather had no idea that one day …94 years later his Grandaughter would read his letter to Sam on the Internet! What an amazing time we live in! I will continue to visit this site as there is so much more I want to read. Thank you again for your help. Sincerely, Susan Melbye Vidito
