| 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 [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 04-Sep-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General

| Aditional letter to Jack | | This is a letter that was included in the bundle of Harry's letters. As it is contemporaneous with Harry's and, clearly, has some link, I have included it.

| 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.

| Letters to Kate and Jack | | TWO letters written on Sunday 30th December 1917. The Battalion's War Diary records only that there was a church parade on that day, so he would have had the time to write. Reminder, the days in 1917 match 2007 so the 30th December was a Sunday for Harry also.
