George Mackay Letter

A LETTER FROM THE FROM THE FRONT

Details
Category: letters and documents

This article was taken from the Helensburgh and Gareloch Times of June 1915. It describes one soldier’s story of the Second Battle of Ypres, May 1915. The letter was published anonymously by the soldier’s parents, but we think it may have been written by Corporal Neil Sharkey and the fatally wounded Sergeant Brown is Herbert Brinn Brown. Both men are remembered with honour on Helensburgh War Memorial.
