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
talkswrites clearly and wellabout 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
