Found letters from a family member from the trenches of France.

A family member from down south sent pictures of the letters. Hastily written by a great great uncle of mine on dirty paper. Not really glorious snippets of WW1 but little passages that can just be made out, “arrived in Inchy” and “entrenched for 6 hours”, “we had to run for our lives” and “we lost 50”. One letter ends simply with “too tired to write any more”.

He survived the war but the gas burns he sustained meant he only enjoyed one year of peace time.

Makes you think.
