Disgrifiad
Lemuel Thomas Rees, son of John and Sarah Rees, from Cross Inn near Blaenannerch volunteered for the Army at the outbreak of war in 1914 but was refused because of his chest. He was later conscripted in 1917 and joined the 6th Battalion South Wales Borderers. This letter was sent to his sister, Elizabeth Anne, and includes some poetry written by him in Welsh. Sometime in 1917 Rees had a very lucky escape when he was hit by a piece of shrapnel in the chest but was saved by a small Bible he was carrying in his breast pocket. Unfortunately, Lemuel Thomas Rees was killed on 13 November 1918, two days after the Armistice was signed. He is buried at Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille in France.
