WW1 hero's letters found after 90 years

WW1 hero's letters found after 90 years - and they make the war
sound just lovely

Dinner at Suez, tea on the Pyramids ... Military Cross hero's letters
are a truly remarkable read.


The style is so jaunty it might have come from an adventure holiday diary.

Tea on the Pyramids ... a fancy dress whist drive ... Christmas dinner
overlooking the Suez Canal. It sounds like a spectacular vacation.

But these remarkable letters are one man's chronicle of the First World War
- and a fascinating insight into the unbreakable spirit of British troops.

They were written by a Military Cross hero to his family back home.

Now - nearly a century later - they reveal not so much the horror of that
conflict, but how soldiers used humour and optimism to see them through it.

Fascinating stuff, Droney.

What a fantastic read, a window into the past. Letters such as these, by men such as these, allow us all to become time-travelers.
