Horace Brewer
1887 - 1918
5th Dragoon Guards
British Expeditionary Force
"Every minute of our life is in danger, but it doesn't do for us to think so....". Harry Brewer 1915
Dearest Mother and Dad
Received your letter this evening and enclosed letters from Mrs. Keeling, etc. I think the cards Mrs. Keeley sent you are very good I will bring them over to you after this little fight is over, but its not half finished yet, the devils! I would like to be able to shoot the lot, but never mind we shall beat them in time.
I also got Harry Ardley's photo. It is very good of the poor lad too, but it was very hard luck to get killed so soon as he did. But I expect it was just his luck. We all have to go some day. Every minute of our life is in danger, but it doesn't do for us to think so, but just go along merry and bright.
Now Mother dear I have no time to write more just now so must draw to a close hoping to find you all in the best of health.
From your loving son,
HARRY.
British Expeditionary Force.
January 23rd, 1915.
