The letter in this article is from a bereaved mother in Quebec, writing to the mother of a soldier mentioned in her son’s diary. It is a moving reminder of war’s far reaching effect, even on strangers, united only by their concern for their sons. The mother in Quebec is hoping to find someone to talk to her about her son; the mother in Rycroft is awaiting news of her son who had appeared in casualty lists.
