This is a collection of letters written by Charles Saunders, ayr old/Lt in theth Service battalion, West Yorks Regiment, 'The Leeds Pals.
' The letters home to his loved ones, detail his training in the army before being posted to France and his marriage to his sweetheart, Alma Calver.
They express his hopes for the future and the promise of a better life to come after the war's end, Sadly for Charles this was not to be and his letters serve as a testament to a young man who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of his country.
The letters do not contain any startling revelations or stirring tales of action but are presented here as a monument to one of the 'Lost Generation' who went to war betweenand never returned.
His final letter home to his wife, Alma, three days before his death in action makes for particularly poignant reading, Lest we forget. .
