Grouping of Letters Written by and Sent To Private William Kirkland 4th / 5th Battalion Black Watch Royal Highlanders, the letters are mostly written by Kirkland to his mother and father and them back to him. One letter informs his parents that William had been wounded in the right arm and as such the letter was being written for him, probably by a nurse or doctor. Some letters are on YMCA headed paper. The letters tell of life and people he knew from home as opposed to any operational or combat activity, which is normal for these letters. An interesting grouping which brings to life the reality for most soldiers during WW1. Late Gordon Anderson collection
