My aunt has her father’s letters written during WWI. I would hope to inherit them someday, if for no other reason than to transcribe them and post them for others to read. She also has a picture of him shaking hands with HIS grandfather, RM Williams. GG grandfather was wearing his Civil War uniform and grandpa was wearing his WWI army uniform. A great photograph.

I’ve transcribed a couple of that a distant cousin wrote to my (other) gg grandfather letters during the Civil War. The cousin died as a result of wounds at Gettysburg. He was born in Borneo!

The letters were posted on the Internet but the page has been taken down.
