Last letter written on Good Friday (6 April) 1917: 2 sheets and envelope Memorial card: English and Welsh || David Isaac Griffiths was the son of David and Catherine Griffiths of Goleugoed Farm, Myddfai, near Llandovery, Carmarthenshire. He was living in Aberdare and working as a bank clerk for the London and Provincial Bank when he joined the army in 1916. He transferred from the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry to the Machine Gun Corps. He was killed on 10 April 1917, the second day of the First Battle of the Scarpe (part of the Battle of Arras) and is remembered on the Arras Memorial. In his last letter to his cousin, Batchie Griffiths of Llandovery, he wrote that was living in what might be called a prehistoric home, presumably referring to the tunnels used in preparation for the Battle of the Scarpe, and that he would be able to tell her all about it one day. She wrote on the envelope that he had been killed on April 17: in fact he had died on April 10. He was probably already dead when she received this letter. || || 50.2913343,2.8617587999999614 || English || Letter from the front || David Isaac Griffiths' last letter to his cousin || Letter || In his last letter to his cousin, Batchie Griffiths of Llandovery, David Griffiths wrote that was living in what might be described as a prehistoric dwelling, presumably referring to the tunnels used in preparation for the Battle of the Scarpe, and that he would be able to tell her all about it one day.
