Scope and Contents

Photocopies of letters of George Ranald MacDonald, six letters to his Uncle Guyon and one to Aunt Muriel, mostly concerning his war experiences in France.

One of the letters has a sketch of the artillery the letter describes. The first of these letters is headed Hambleden, the name of the family home in Bealey Avenue. George Macdonald was wounded twice and invalided to England, as these letters tell. They give very vivid descriptions of the war and conditions in France.
