Spr. John Coupe

British Army 431st Field Coy Royal Engineers

from:Manchester

(d.27th March 1918)

This is a letter from my great grandmother Nellie to her husband Jack Coupe who was fighting in the First World War. He was Sapper 440288 and he died on 27th March 1918 and is commemorated at Harbonnieres. This letter depicts home life and bringing up a family, and rations in WW1. The letter refers to Beatrice and her upcoming 10th birthday which was on 3rd April 1918. It also refers to Easter in 1918, which means that this letter may have crossed paths with a telegram announcing his death or it may have been received and returned following his death.
