Letter · 24 May 1916 · Flanders Fields, Belgium
Forget-me-not
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
"These forget-me-knots are from the firing line 200 yards from the enemy's trenches. I picked them myself when I was out sniping between the lines love from your Soldier Boy xxx"
