               <p>A letter from sir Wilfrid Bliss Spender (1876-1960) to his wife, Lady Lillian Spender, née Dean, (1880-1968). Spender discusses the recent successes of the Ulster Division, and the philanthropic efforts of a Unionist ally.

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 wrote a collection of letters 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. Lady Lillian served in the Ulster Volunteer Nursing Corps during the war, and was an organiser of the Ulster Division Comforts Fund.</p>

            <lb/>one now begins to think one fought in vain <lb/>for those unworthy. Yet the men out here <lb/> are fine. Oh why has Providence treated <lb/>the good Ulstermen so cruelly. It is this <lb/>I mind as you know not the personal <lb/>defeat.   The rain her is a handicap. They <lb/>say the British always have to fight the <lb/>elements as well as the Germans, whilst <lb/>the Ulstermen has other conditions to fight <lb/>against. It does seem hard.   Glad you are getting help, but look <lb/>around for others too. You will need it all.   N has given £100 of the Canteen funds to <lb/>the Drummond Society for orphans of Soldiers. This is <lb/> on his own. He will certainly help S Irish Societies <!-- text that follows is the end of the letter and was written on the first page --> <lb/>now, but <lb/>has not right <lb/>to do so <lb/>without <lb/>consultation .
