ALS signed “A. Conan Doyle,” one page both sides, 5 x 8, personal letterhead, September 6. Letter to Colonel Green. In part: “I rather fancy I mentioned your name in my history in connection with the…battle—unless there are two Greens in the regiment. Anyhow your name is very familiar to me in connection with fine work in the front…In my history I call the May 9th battle Richebourg-Festubert. As you say it is difficult to fix the names. I will certainly note the point you mention…I’m not clear how the Sussex got into the 15th Highland Division…There is one advance with which I associate your name, of which I also should be glad to know more. It was October 31st with the 1st Northamptons.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds (vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature). Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
