@GillOlsen @HistoryCHS @MrsToye1 Wow. This is amazing. My husband was in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers (not in 1918 obviously) and is still serving with the reserves. I may get this book...... And make sure all the letters I received from him are kept safe and one day they may become a book!!

Took delivery of this today. Can’t wait to read it. The story of Percy Edwards of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, conscripted in 1918, based on his letters to girlfriend Kitty. The letters were found at a flea market in 2018 ❤️ @HistoryCHS @MrsToye1
