My pleasure!

This letter was Typed by a Mrs. Wanda Hodnick. She was born in London on July 20th 1903 and would later move to Baltimore, Maryland, which is where this letter was written. She was writing to a Mrs. Thornton who was living in England. Based on the content, I believe they were pen pals. The letter reads:

“ 507 S. Tolna St.
Baltimore, 24, Md.
June 4, 1943

Dear Mrs. Thornton:

I was very glad to receive your letter of April 26th which arrived May 19th. I would have answered sooner but I was busy with the Spring housecleaning and painting and I believe I lost that 10 lbs. of weight that I gained. I cant understand it, I eat twice as much as my husband and he weighs twice as much as me. So, if you have any lbs. to spare tell me how I could gain. Right now we are having a heat wave which I think will reach up to 98 degrees. The humidity is very high which makes the weather so hard to bear and the nights are so hot. I wish that we were living out in the country parts as the summers are so wonderful.

Charles didn't tell us anything about your place, so please describe it for me as such things interest me very much. I know that England is noted for her countryside and I wish that I could visit it someday but I doubt it. Mother always said that I would bloom like a rose when we lived in London. The weather agreed with me there and I believe that the people in Europe are much healthier then we are here.

One day we turned the radio on and the chimes of Big Ben of London were ringing and then a few minuets later King George spoke and it was a thrilling moment.

I want to thank you for that receipe for pickled walnuts and I am going to pickle a few just to see what they taste like. And about that receipe for preserved walnuts, well I was reading an article in a magazine that the class of Home Economics of England were teaching the ladies how to conserve sugar from the nectar of roses, and it seems funny too, that when I asked my friends about it they considered it a joke too. We are getting 10 lbs. of sugar, per person, extra for canning and preserving so I guess I wont have to rob the bees of their honey after all.

The first real shortage here in vegtables, was the lack of potatoes. We didn't have any for two months and we realized how much we depended on the lowly spud for our daily needs. The prices on fresh fruits and vegtables are extremely high so this year lots of people are having Victory gardens. We started one too and it’s fun watching them grow. We planted string beans, lima beans, peas, patatoes, turnips, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes, parsley, beets and peppermint.

We are on point rationing for meat, cheese and fats and I have more points then I can use. I would like very much to receive the views you wrote about and did you receive any snapshots of George? We had a lovely day on Easter but the men did not have any days off, and then we had five weeks of rain. I am afraid that I am bothering you too much but it is nice to hear from you so I am going to close with best regards to all from all of us.

Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Hobnick

P.S. I typwritten this letter as my hand felt kind of shakey today.

P.S. Betty is going on a farm this summer. “

Same. I wish they remaster it. I’d buy it instantly.

Honestly I’m sort of a wimp when it comes to horror games. I’ve never liked them. I’ve forced myself to play them in recent years (played dead space last year for the first time) but I definitely prefer watching someone else play them rather than playing them myself.

Haha thank you. Yeah I love me some history. What area of history interests you? And nice! Battlefield is really the only shooter I play. I’m primarily into single player games. Skyrim is one of my all time favorites.

Honestly I’d love to buy a ps2 again one day. Primarily to play call of duty finest hour. It was my first ever cod game and i would love to play it again. Silent hill is a classic. I’ve heard of timesplitters. Never heard of way of the samurai.

Yes I have! My first console ever was actually a ps2, way back in 2008. I played on ps4 for a few years in the past, and my current console is the ps5. I’ve owned Xbox as well but I definitely prefer PlayStation.

Just came across this. How/what did you use to scan these images? The detail and clarity is amazing

These two letters were sent to a British lady named Mrs. Susannah Rostron. She was the wife of Lance Corporal William Rostron, who had been serving in France with the 2nd/5th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers. They lived at 65, Chesham Crescent, Bury. The first letter was sent by a Chaplain attached to the neighbouring unit holding the brigade sector. The letter reads:

“ 1/4 Royal Lancaster Regiment
154 Infantry Brigade,
51st Highland Division,
British Expeditionary Force,
France.

July 17th, 1915.

Dear Madam,

I regret to have to inform you that your husband was killed in action yesterday morning, July 16th. He bore an excellent name among his fellows, He was noted for his cheerfulness, obedience in carrying out orders given, and the possession of qualities which were necessary for a soldier. The battalion are very sorry for the loss they have sustained by his death, and they sympathise with you as I do. I conducted the burial service by his grave. The Colonel and his company officer were present. He has laid down his life for his King and Country, and it is for others to emulate his noble example. May the God of all consolation be with you, and give you to bear the great sorrow which has so suddenly come upon you.

Yours Very Truly,

R. Gillender
Chaplain”

The second letter was typed a little before the first, sent directly by his commanding officer. It reads:

“July 16th. 1915.

Dear Mrs. Rostron,

I am writing to tell you how much we all are in this battalion sympathise with you in your great loss. Your husband was a very good soldier, and much liked by everyone. Nothing can make up to you for his death, but it must be some comfort to feel that he died fighting bravely for his King and dear native land.

Assuring you again of our great sympathy.

Believe me.

Yours Sincerely
Herbert J. Shirley,
Major,
Commanding 2nd/5th Lancashire Fusiliers.”

On the night of July 15th, the 2nd/5th Lancashire Fusiliers and neighboring units like the 1/4th Royal Lancaster Regiment moved into the front line under the cover of darkness to take over the sector. William was killed just hours later on the morning of July 16th. When daylight broke over a newly occupied trench, soldiers unfamiliar with the exact layout often exposed themselves to waiting German snipers while trying to inspect broken parapets or shallow areas of the trench. The Germans often greeted new British rotations with random “harassment” artillery fire first thing in the morning.

William is buried or commemorated at the Le Touret military cemetery in France. He was 41.
