Letter from Charles Wyndham Wynne to Alice Katherine Wynne dated 'Monday'
post goes. I am much
disgusted that my leave is
I'm afraid strafed. I rang
up the hotel yesterday but
owing to the line between
here and the Dunree exchange
being in bad order and the
idiocy of whoever Miss Earl or
whoever was at the other end
I didn't get much through.
I may possibly still get from
Tues and in any case hope 2
to have between the the morning
and evening mail on Thursday.
I am going to Beshill for a
seige course and even when
that's finished I expect I shall
be a good time in England
so may get leave later in
the summer when the weather's
better. Nothing much to report
from here. The two infantry officers
turned out very nice â one
particularly nice but after five
days they both got
orders for the front. Now I must stop for post.
I hope at any rate to be
with you on Thursday
morning. Much love from your
loving son Charles 3 Mrs a. a. Wynne The Cottage Glendalough Co. Wicklow 4

His application to the Royal Flying Corps was denied in 1916 due to his poor eyesight. Charles ultimately died of wounds received at Armentieres, June 1917.
