Sara Rea and Willie Bell communicated by postcard all through
the war

Willie Bell sent to Sara Rea
(sadly there is no date)
Friday - L. Corpl. Wm. Bell, 110th ? Ambulance
R.A.M.C. Hut 28 South Camp, Seaford Sussex, Eng.
Dear Miss
Rea, I hope you wont think it rude of me to drop you a line as I
thought there would be no harm in doing so, well as you see I
have arrived in London, and am leaving London for Seaford at
5.30. I have been in London from 12.45 and have had a very
enjoyable time as it all was so strange to me. Well I hope this
finds you well as I got your address, and thought I would send
you a p.c. and I hope you won't think it any harm, hoping to
hear from you soon. Best Love. L. Corpl. Wm. Bell

Dear S, Many thanks for letter received, glad to know that your
Father, and all at home are well. I often think of you
when I take out the little Testament to read. We are very
busy now in the trench so I will write to you later, I think
this is all till I hear from you later, With best love, From,
yours ever, L-Corpl. Wm. Bell x x x x x
O God our help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come,
Be Thou our Guard while life shall last, And our Eternal Home.
