 Enviar a email | A card to Jack. Not good, but better than nothing. 27th October 1918 en General |  Por Pte Harry Lamin
el 25-Oct-2008 |  I'm not sure why Harry couldn't write a letter. We can see from the Battalion's war diary, that they were on half an hour's notice to move out. Probably, everything was packed and so the Field Service Post card was the easiest solution.

I'm not sure that all readers will realise, but it would be quite clear to Harry that some serious action was imminent.

| Error in Letter dating - apologies to all | | The letter reported as 9th October 1917 was more likely to have been written today, 27th October 1917. I will amend the date accordingly in a few days.
The actual letter was undated. It was written after a day on the range and I could only find one possible day for that in the Battalion's War Diary. I missed a second small entry on 27th October.
Reading the letter, this date is more likely to [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 27-Oct-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General
