Description
Excerpt from Letters of Arthur George Heath, Fellow of New College, Oxford, and Lieutenant in the 6th Batt: Royal West Kent Regt
After the death of our dear son, one of his intimate friends wrote If you could let me have any letters, it would be a comfort, as it were, to hear a few more words of his voice.'' The present volume is the outcome of this and other suggestions. The letters date back to August 1914, when he joined the army. For the most part they are letters home, but a few friends have kindly permitted us to print some addressed to them. Some of the letters were undated, and for these the month has been inserted from recollection or internal evi dence.
We are indebted to the authorities of New College for permission to use their arms as a mark of our son''s connection with the College and his love for it.
Professor Gilbert Murray has laid us underdeep obligation by writing the memoir which precedes the letters.
