I came back to a 14 month toddler who really didn't know who I was or indeed why I was in his house with his mummy!St Crispinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154815311596577785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-1011627831467756142008-09-01T03:31:00.000+01:002008-09-01T03:31:00.000+01:00I think it's the picture with Connie: he looks far...I think it's the picture with Connie: he looks far too young (around his first birthday, perhaps?) in the other. And yes, he was a cutie!

In his last few letters he's talked about getting leave; it sounds as if he really needs one!

Since the armistice with Germany comes in just a few months (11 November 1918), every letter is one step closer to a happy reunion for Harry and his family. I do hope when the saga is over, we'll get a thorough update on the remainder of Harry's life. Thanks for this blog and all the hard work. What a tribute to your family!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293734129682469882noreply@blogger.com
