WW1 Prisoner of War letters published 100 years after being written

The letters speak of love, longing, worry and war. A prisoner of war and his family writing to each other to ease the pain of separation during the First World War. Now seven months of correspondence, between Professor Archibald Allan Bowman and his wife Mabel, will be published by the University of Glasgow on the centenary of the day they were first written. The first letter will be published on social media today (5 April 2018). They are being released in instalments to show how it must have felt to anxiously wait for news of a loved one. The letters were written between April 1918 and November 1918 and will be published for the first time in the order they were written. During the war, with censorship in place, the couple would not have received the letters in order and in some cases there would have been a lag of a few weeks.
