Description: | Microfilm copy of an ms diary (11pp) and a series of 17 ms letters written to his wife by the 57 year old retired Regular Army officer in command of the 10th Battalion Green Howards (62nd Infantry Brigade, 21st Division) in France, 9 - 26 September 1915, describing their arrival in France and preparations for the Loos offensive and their first attack on 26 September; together with letters of condolence following his death in action on the same day and other documents concerning the Battalion's service in 1915. Colonel Hadow's final letters to his wife - the last written at Loos moments before his death - are of outstanding immediacy and merit and betray his doubts about the likely success of the operations.
