O/C “A” Company 2/Sherwood Foresters

Looking forward to transcribing these letters to Captain Walter Harold Wilkin O/C “A” Company 2/Sherwood Foresters. Made POW during the ‘engagement’ at Ennetieres on 20th October 1914. Two letters came from his comrade Captain Charles James Willoughby Hobbs DSO and one from his wife Dorothy Alison. The History of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Sherwood Foresters provides lots of detail on Captin Wilkin and Captain (later Lieut.-Colonel) Hobbs. Their story to follow.
