Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. I'd love any descendants of the familyto have them but its not easy tracing them with no d.o.b. and not being sure of the area. Mary

If you get onto Chris Weymouth at his site www.1914-1918.net He may be able to use them on his site. There is a forum online at the site you may be able to locate the family by using the soldiers forum. If you have difficulty e-mail me and I will give you Chris's e-mail address. mine is [email protected] regards Christina

As she came from Bournmouth, maybe the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society would be interested. www(.)sdfhs(.)org

I bought an old chest of drawers recently and found inside a bundle of letters written during the first world war from a Captain Cyril Weller to his wife. I believe she lived in the Bournemouth area but its hard to tell. They had a daughter called Betty. Ages, d.o.b. etc. I don;t know and Mrs. Weller is always referred to by affectionate terms rather than by name. I would love to be able to pass these on to any of the Weller family if it were possible. They paint a picture of what life was like during WW1 If I can't trace the family does anyone know which museum might be interested. Mary Brooke
