Captain Arthur Gibbs MC | Letters Home 1914-1918
These are the Letters Home from Captain Arthur Gibbs MC mostly to his mother originally written from 1914 to 1918. They were mostly written from the British trenches and are somewhat anodyne because of censorship and Captain Gibbs wanted to keep his mother in good spirits. There are about 320 letters on the 400 pages of the book.
My grandfather Captain Arthur Gibbs MC wrote letters home, mostly to his mother, from the British trenches from 1914 until 1918. She kept them, then my Grandmother had them, then my mother had them and she typed them all up in 2010 and made a book out of them. I, George Keeling, have uploaded the pdf file of the book, one of the original letters and a map of Gibbs' movements created by my daughter Ruth.
