Mr Edmond van Calster, a Belgian refugee in Pitlochry, received a letter from his son in the Belgian Army. He describes months of constant work, extreme cold, and privations at sea, culminating in a Calais landing where a crush led to deaths and injuries amid a wartime supply shortage.
Sergeant Harlow recounts life in the trenches with a marine nettent errained and a brave horse rescue. He notes German shelling, tea making under fire, and a trooper who saved comrades as shells fell. Cavalry fatigue and harsh winter conditions surround the frontline narrative.
