Letter from Wilfrid Spender to his wife Lillian in which he discusses a flat which Lillian has moved into. He writes about the accomplishments of his Division, the problems faced by it, and the internal politics of its leadership. Spender expresses the hope that he will be granted leave to return home around Christmas, and mentions his anxiety at the possibility that his brother Rex will soon be sent to the front. This letter is part of a series of correspondence from Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Wilfrid Bliss Spender to his wife Lady Lillian Spender née Dean, (1880-1968)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. 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 1916 served at Advanced General Headquarters, his duties mainly involving the writing of reports for the cabinet, for the Press, and for posterity. Throughout the war, Spender remained in contact with the Ulster Unionist leadership, and consistently opposed Home Rule and the six-county solution. Lady Lillian was an organiser of the Ulster Division Comforts Fund during the war, and a member of the Ulster Volunteer Nursing Corps.
