Letter · 29 May 1916 · Flanders Fields, Belgium
God bless you my Laddie
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.

"My dear son, Be good to Mother, She is, and always will be your Best Friend. Trust & tell her Everything, especially if you are doubtful of any word, action or deed. ... It's up to you to take my place. God Bless you my Laddie ... It's lovely to see our shells smashing into the Germans"
