| Jack, Harry's brother. 25th June
Jack
I have just realised that we haven?t introduced Jack, Harry?s brother, the recipient of around half the letters.
John Ernest (Jack) Lamin was born in 1870 to Henry Lamin.. He was considerably older than Harry.
By the 1901 census he was an elementary schoolmaster living in Oxford. Harry is recorded as staying with him. Oxford is mentioned in quite a few of the letters so Harry [..] |

| Letter from Jack to Kate June 1917 - with scan I have found another letter that is, I am afraid out of order. It was filed with other material and I didn?t recognise its significance. This letter is from Harry?s brother, Jack to sister Kate. Jack was, at the time, an Anglican Clergyman in Hull in the North of England. Kate was a nurse in London. I have certificates in midwifery and ?hygiene? that could well have been a result of the exams [..] |

| Letters resume - Harry wounded. To get an idea of Harry's situation in the grand scheme of things, it is worth following the link to the Battalion's War Diary.
As you can read in today's letter, Harry is in C Company. Their movements are mentioned from time to time in the Dairy. It may help to put Harry's letters into context if the dates are considered.
September 23rd 1917. Dear Jack I have received your letter and I [..] |

| All about Connie Connie was the illegitimate daughter of Kate, Harry's sister. She was born in June 1910 in the Nottingham area.
She was brought up by Kate's brother Harry and his wife Ethel. That Harry is the subject of the blog.
I believe the picture on the left is Connie. It was the front of a postcard sent to Kate in December 1913 by her sister Agnes. The cryptic note on the back is interesting.
A second [..] |
