Dead or Alive?

Wilstead, 1914 [Z1306/134/6/1]

Tuesday 29th September 1914, Wilstead: A letter received from a French Hospital indicates that the notification of the death of Private Timothy Cambers sent to his young, pregnant wife at Wilstead was premature. There is no addressee so it is not known when Mrs Cambers heard that her husband was still alive. It is to be hoped that she received this letter soon after it was sent and did not have to wait for it to filter through the War Office machine.
