Reginald Oswald Pearson, Letter from Reginald Oswald Pearson to Sydney Langford Jones (1915)
“ So much for my troubles for at present I sit in an orchard where we are bivouacked, resting.The God of all the men we love is with me, I know, and this wonderful help and guidance are seared on my brain. ”
Reginald Oswald Pearson, Letter from Reginald Oswald Pearson to Sydney Langford Jones (1915)
“ Trenches scarcely 3’ deep, parapets and bullet proof, strobing over dead men, bullets, bullets everywhere and the next 3 days cannot be spoken of. Trenches blown in beyond all recognition, and the first thing I saw when down broke was a dragoon with a little cat on his lap, which he had been stroking, lying both dead right across the trench, horrible, horrible, horrible. ”
