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. In this letter Spender is writing to his wife, Lady Lillian Spender, née Dean, (1880-1968). Sir Wilfrid Spender (1876 - 1960) 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. In this letter, Spender describes a recent German incursion into his trench, gives details of his feud with an officer, 'P', whom he sees as incompetent, and regrets the departure of a respected colleague. He also suggests the imminent eruption of 'chaos in Ireland'.

 D1633/1/1/310 June 11 My pr Still very much in the dumps in spite of ageing letters. We had a heavy attack last night &I’m sorry to say for the first time the Hun gotinto our trench for a minute tho’ way too soon turnedout. I believe our men behaved very gallantly butsome men are missing who were out on patrol.It makes me furious by saying they were probably capturedin our lines & assume that our men are lying. I told him he did not understand the Ulstermen& he thinks a partition, but it makes mehopeless. He always assumes the worst & thank god usually finds out he is wrong, & thinks it is anexception. I told him we could not afford to prevaricatein our reports as the men would soon find it out & never forgive us. He is incredulous tho’ I haveproven to him that they are not the ordinary typewith who he has been “associated” who are glib hais. I showed him the men reading thin bibleswhich rather surprised him, but he cannot see thepower of information. The pity of it. The Englishare unfit to govern Ulster. I hear the Lord Mayor gave great offence byhis speech at this meeting. I’m afraid the Knighthoodhas spoilt a good man. No chance of the bribed in this way. I hope the fine weather has just come intime to let you have a very restful week endbut wish the feeding. R misses Gen. H, but the promotionof Col. Henry is the great loss. His strong religious views & his strength of characterwas just what the Ulstermen want. We do seem unlucky. No one outside knowshow heroic our men really are, & no one isable to give them the appreciation they deserve. P calls me an idealist. If it meansbelieving you are going to get the best outof men & getting it, I am. I was up till nearly 2AM thismorning so am not much inclined to write. Hope for a longer letter tomorrow.So glad you will have & Ed& can explain things to them. I have givenup hoping to do it on paper. The MP still hold out glimmers of hope, & I think there will be chaos in Irelandlater, so perhaps the b w & p r mayagain become amphibious & fish introubled waters, tho’ not for their own benefit. They are curious animals & a veryfunny match, but apparently get onall right.
