Description

Doyle sends consolations to the anxious wife of Brigadier-General Frederick Gore Anley

ALS, one page, 5 x 8, Telegrams: Crowborough, Nat. Tel. No. 77 letterhead, November 14. Letter to a Mrs. Anley, probably the wife of British Brigadier-General Frederick Gore Anley, who served with the Essex Regiment in 1884, participated in the Nile campaign, then transferred to the Egyptian army, later fighting in the South African war and in WWI. “Very many thanks. I will return it soon. It might be a relief to your mind to have the General out of the fight, if even for a short time. I heard that the 4th Division had gone en bloc to Serbia. Probably a mere rumour.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Accompanied by original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
