Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

If you have a student who is studying WWI you might be interested in this blog.

In the blogger's words.

    "I have transcribed the letters and added commentary so that references can make sense.

    What has been produced is a moving and poignant account of an ordinary man's experiences in an extraordinary situation.

    I have edited nothing. The spellings and grammar are exactly as Harry wrote them.

    The intention of this blog is to publish the letters exactly 90 years after Harry wrote them. His first letter from the training camp was written on February 7th 1917. It will be published on the blog on February 7th 2007.

    Each letter will appear on the correct date from then on. There are gaps where no letters are available for several weeks. I have no explanations. Maybe they were lost. I have no idea.

    If you wish to find out Harry's fate then you'll have to access the blog as the new letters arrive. I may well indicate when the next contribution is due, especially if there is a significant gap."
