Letter from Wilfrid Bliss Spender (1876-1960) to his wife, Lillian (1880-1968). Spender writes of a correspondence he has recently sent and received, and refers to his brother Rex, recently arrived at the front, who is currently positioned in a dug-out. He briefly mentions a visit to the office by the King and the Prince of Wales. He recounts a visit of his own to 4th Army Headquarters, and a comment made by General Rawlinson's Chief of Staff that the records Spender is working on will make him 'the best hated man in the army'. Spender suggests that he will be moved back to a Division before long, hopefully leaving the records with a different 'father'.Sir Wilfrid Spender was a member of the British Army until 1913 when controversy surrounding his signature of the Ulster Solemn League and Covenant resulted in his resignation. Spender was called up for military service in 1914 and from 1915 served in the 36th (Ulster) Division. Throughout the war, Spender remained in contact with the Ulster Unionist leadership, and consistently opposed Home Rule and the six-county solution. Lady Lillian served in the Ulster Volunteer Nursing Corps during the war, and was an organiser of the Ulster Division Comforts Fund. This letter is part of a series of correspondence from Sir Wilfrid Bliss Spender to his wife Lady Lillian Spender. The letters date mainly from 1915 to 1918, when Sir Wilfrid was serving in France. The letters concern politics, the Irish question, personal life, and Wilfrid's experience of the Great War.
