So far I've only skimmed through, but it looks great: lots of expanded explanation of what was happening, lots of photos. It's a beautiful testament to Harry and all the others who served in the Great War.<br /><br />I'm diving in in-depth today, and I'm going to TRY to stop with May 1919.... not sure if I have the willpower, but I don't want to 'skip ahead' of Harry's letters in this blog!<br /><br />with much appreciation; Gustav's great-granddaughter (AKA Paula, the computer Luddite)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-83611224064692937622009-05-18T01:04:00.000+01:002009-05-18T01:04:00.000+01:00Hello Harry:

I won't speak of the chance but I had a close time with a German dud the other day.

I also have clipping and letters from a Canadian soldier of WW1.<br /><br />This is great.
