Faith is a blessing
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.
Extracts from this letter
"Chum. I find it is a great blessing to have faith in Christ Jesus. It is such a comfort to be able to pray & receive help & strength for the day's battle."
"And, I feel so very much stronger & better for only a few words of prayer. I feel very near to you dear when I pray for you."
