Monday 7th June 1917 – At rest
Hello Mum,
Just about to go up to the lines. I hope we succeed; all the fancy chaps keep staring us down on parade like we are the scum of the earth. Maybe winning will show them.

Thursday 24th June 1917 – The front line
Hello again Mum,
We just lost 10 men to the fritz. I doubt those fancy chaps will change now.
My socks are ripped – please send more

Mr and Mrs Jones,
Your son, Alfie Jones, contributed well to the war. Unfortunately, he was recently shot in battle. He is currently kept in a hospital in Cardiff but it is not looking good.
Feel free to visit him anytime
Yours sincerely
Captain Watkins
