Remembering our anniversaries
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
"Dearie I have not & will not forget our marriage anniversary & the children's birthdays, or your birthday"
"but I know you are brave & will bear it all as a soldier's wife should."
