Prince, William Alfred - Letters to mother
documentary heritage
Letters sent by 12/3448 Private William Alfred Prince to his mother Annie whilst on active service in France during World War I. The correspondence begins aboard the the troopship 'Willochra', which sailed from Wellington, New Zealand, in November, 1915, and continues with the arrival at Suez, Egypt. Prince's first letter from France is dated March, 1916, and subsequent letters are written either in the trenches or during occasional respite. His last letter talks of the forthcoming battle in which he was later killed. The collection also includes letters of condolence.
