Comments:I haven't read all the letters as of yet.
However the few that I have I have found very interesting.
So I will be putting this site on my favourites so I can return and read at leisure.
My own grandfather was a sapper with the royal engineers and was serving in France In 1917.
Though I have no photographs, or letters of him during that time.
What a wonderful legacy your Grandfather left you.
How fortunate to be able to read such a human and personal account.
Best wishes Theresa Morrow.

Comments:How precious are the letters. It is wonderful to have the affirmation that those fighting in WW 1 were born again believers who understood the concept of strength through military victory.
I can see them all together again in heaven. Thanks for printing them. I am a 73 yr old college student. I am doing research for my final history project. It's called, "war though my eyes." I have chosen WW 1. I was trying to find information on a young man named Goff L Shroyer who died during the war. Not too much luck.
Thanks again.

Comments:I love your website. The letters your grandfather wrote during WWI are a real treasure. Would you mind terribly if I reprinted some of them in my small newspaper? It's a country paper which advertises auctions in Ontario and has been going since 1935. Our readers are mostly elderly, and would feel such a connection to your grandfathers letters.
Let me know if this would be okay. I'd love to include a link to your website, so they may enjoy your entire collection.

Yours,

Comments:I really enjoyed reading the letters and I appreciate you sharing them. After having been in the service for many years and with my husband still in the service, I can relate to the lonely feelings, writing many letters to feel in touch with back home (before computers). It's amazing what he went through and the enduring long distance love. A true love story!

Comments:I came across this website while trying to find information about my ancestors who were left behind when my great grandparents immigrated to the United States.

I appreciated the letters. How proud you must be. I cried a few tears,too.

Perhaps the kind people Lloyd met were my relatives. Who knows? I'd like to think that they lived in a safe little town where they weren't harmed.

Thank you for sharing.

Comments:Hi.
Just want to say it is wonderful of you to share these letters, and tell this story.
I could not stop reading, I had to know what happened next.
I have not long found out that my grandfather was also in France with the British army at that time. I am yet to find out more about his time there.
I now have a picture in my mind of something a history book would never tell me.
God bless,
Barbara

Comments:My granddauther "Caitlyn" loves this letter. She kept persuading me to read the information on this cyber sight.

Today I finally did, and I was touched very deeply within the heart, of the love that they shared.

I'm positive that "Mary" was very worried while he was away.

I'm just glad that my own love of life didn't haveto serve in any of the wars.

I am also very sorry for those who have lost any loved ones.

I respect all of the war servers and all to come!

Best hopes and dreams to come for all!

Comments:I have already written once, but I just can't seem to keep away ffrom this letter.
I read it almost every day, and every time it gets more interesting.

I love the way that he keeps her informed about what is occuring.

I seems that he really cared about her in addition to love in the same ways.
I'm sure that she cared and was worried of what may have become of him.

Best wishes to all that you do!!1 :)

Comments:I wasn't too comfortble reading a mans letters of love to his wife. But they were wonderful letters and I do hope they had some long and happy time together at the end of it.But as a young man I hitch hiked all over the Somme, often sleeping out under the sky, I worked in France and Belgium simply to enable me to be there and experience the way of life.It's hard to believe that 20 mllion people were killed or wounded in the First World War. My own father was wounded and was away for almost six years in the Second War and my family had dreadful experiences of being bombed. Thank you for sharing this.
