Hi

I knew I recognised those names. Take a look at this thread, it might interest you.

Thanks for that, this makes sense as I seem to remember something in our local paper here about a family in Australia finding a letter from Alf Parr to the family of one of his soldiers who died in action.  I'd love to read that letter.

Hi

The letter is buried in the thread, hope you find all the info helpful, all those involved did a wonderful job.

Maddie this is wonderful, thank you.  What a really touching letter.  I have also sent a pm to Nick Lynch to introduce myself so hopefully we can share some more information.  Thank you so very much for your work on this, my family will be really pleased. 

[Maddie]

You are more than welcome. I'm sure any of the others on the thread will be happy to help if they can. Good luck with Nick Lynch.

Thats my grandpa's letter to the newspaper .
Its so amazing to find all these people that are either related to me or know of Alfred Parr.

Has anyone else realised that Alfred was a 2nd Lieutenant when he died but was a Sargeant when he wrote the letter? Does anyone know about the promotion?
