If you haven't yet done so, please do have a look at the excellent Harry Lamin Letters Blog
Private Harry Lamin served in the 9th Battalion York & Lancaster Regiment during the First World War. His letters, which were sent home to his worried family as he fought on the Western Front, have been turned into a blog by his grandson, IT teacher Bill Lamin.
The bulletins have been published in real time because he wanted to recreate the tension felt by families waiting to hear if their loved one had survived or died in battle. The blog has received a lot of excellent media coverage, including this piece in the Daily Mail here.
