A British man is searching for the families of the writer and recipient of a letter written 99 years ago.According to an article in the Coventry Telegraph, James Bagnall found the letter in an old book he purchased several years ago. It was written by a man named Charlie, a British World War I soldier, to Nancy Roberts, who lived in Hillfields, just outside of Coventry, England.
You can see photos of the letter and read its entire contents on the Coventry Telegraph website. It's a great piece of history!
Such a touching story. I hope he has a grand adventure as he searches for the intended recipient. I cannot help but wonder if the penner made it home from war.
