  Dear Miss Hoy,

                             Thank you kindly for the photocopy

  of a most extraordinary document. Such a thing

  I have not come across before, You quite often hear

  of people dealing with trauma in such a way

  but it is unusual to actually see any evidence of

  this kind. Your father talks writes clearly and well

  about his experiences during the Great War. Even

  now, as I write this letter, several hours later,

  I am able to recall certain recollections of  your  Father's

  experience– "Death is always lurking at one's elbow,"

  The 2nd LT "to my mind...was the man who

  won the war", playing poker with the Colonel

  and then to O.P, etc, etc– This fact alone ,

  proves that this document is invaluable to the

  archive. Your Father's cold sobriety as he looks
