Bedlam let loose
Harry Norton was killed in action on 15 September 1916, at Flanders. His family were not informed of his death for 5-6 weeks, and continued to write to him. Their letters were returned marked with 'deceased'. Harry wrote to his wife everyday - his letters are very descriptive and personal.
Extract from this letter
"Well everything was decided in town last night by the Head Officials and by 11 o'clock the Camp was in an uproar what with lots of men packing up tents & baggage & burning mattresses it was Bedlam let loose."
