Lovers
And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow

After George Farndale was
killed at the Battle of Arras in 1917, his fiancée, Dolly, wrote to George’s
sister, to lament a short lasting union. It was an awful blow to me dear,
and is one that I shall never forget. He was such a nice quiet and gentle boy
and was very much liked by all who knew him in Sawbridgeworth, and no fellow
could not think so much of a girl as your dear brother did of me, and had he
been spared to come back safely we intended getting married. I don’t know if he
ever spoke about it to you.
