A community project based on the letters of a WWI soldier from Nottingham, Harold Priestly.
The project vividly recalls the life of the local soldier who fought on the Western Front, along with his family and local community during the period of 1914-18.
The project preserves and digitises 88+ letters, postcards and photographs provided by David Priestly, Harold’s grandson.
The collection will remain with the Vine along with copies going to Nottingham’s Central Library.
The title of the project is taken from the words stamped on the letters returned to Eva, Harold’s wife, from the Western Front in 1918, when Harold could not be found after fighting on the front line.
