Helpful Hints
From 1st March 1918 the leap year in 2008 takes the synchronicity of the days and dates away. Decision: I will publish letters a day in advance so that the days of the week coincide, rather than the date.
"New" readers please note that the entries on each page are in reverse order, oldest at the bottom.
It doesn't work quite like a book. To make sense of the whole blog, take the link to the "First Posts", work from the bottom entry upwards and then take the "Newer posts" link at the bottom of each page for the next installment.
Good luck! Comments most welcome. BL

Congratulations on the blog and may I also add my respect in your republishing of letters. I have just finished my History degree and my dissertation was on Wilfred Owen's representation of the conflict through his poetry, and the reliance on his letters also gave me a great insight into the battles and daily life.
I will regularly check this blog; my interest in my special subject of the First World War will always stay with me, and I hope that my generation continues to keep a keen interest in what was the most devastating war in our history.
Thanks again.

Dear Bill,
I've found it quite moving working through from the beginning. It must be particularly poignant for you. I do hope it becomes a resource for pupils and will make people aware on my travels.
Regards
David
