I know how important a photo of soldier from the Great War is especially to  descendants ... so I have had a go too .. You have had some very nice  restores  so here is another to add to your collection . Did he survive the War ?

Dear Aunt
I now take the pleasure of answering your letter & I hope it finds Uncle & the rest of you keeping in the best of health? As it leaves everyone here keeping the same, bar my mother, she was very ill yesterday but she is a good lot better today, Robs death(Soldier pictured)  has made her even worse. It will be 6 months on the 25th since he died & I cant think he is dead at all, But he is happier than any of us and he wouldn't change places today. He died in the casualty clearing station, he was so badly wounded they couldn't remove him. He was out a message and they turned a machine gun on him, One of the bullets lodged in his heart and the doctor couldn't see through how he lived 9 days with it, but Rob was an extra strong chap as the Doctor said or he couldn't have lingered so long & he was quite conscious up to the last. The Nurse asked him before he departed if he could give his love to his mother and all he could manage was ,"o yes" Poor thing and none of us got to see him, it was hard right enough. Allan(His brother in the same regiment) nearly broke his heart after him, but he says Rob is Happy, But he still has to face it.
