On Active Service with the British Expeditionary Force. Hughes, writing in pencil, sends a series of largely social letters back home, conveying his thanks for socks, gloves, boots, cocoa and cigarettes, although also discussing various aspects of his life with the army, in part, 'We have had one of the latest guns come up to our camp & the shell travels 1820 ft. per sec. Some pace….', writing of a boxing match at the YMCA, 'I got a….man about 6-4 & very big with it, like hitting a haystack, but came off best on points', and of his time training at Cosham in Hampshire, 'I was on guard last night on the front on Portsmouth on the sands. You can see lots of searchlights….I was on from 1am to 5am, it nearly killed me but I suppose you must get used to it', 'We had a big parade on Friday to celebrate the 200th year of the RFA. Most camps had a half holiday but we had a hard days work' and 'We had a military funeral this afternoon, a fellow that died of wounds from France. I was in the firing party….while we are firing [the band] plays the last post, altogether it is a fine thing if it were not for the sadness of the thing….we are still waiting further orders, waiting with kits packed to go to Woolwich & getting very fed up', and of his arrival in France, 'I have been put into the trench mortars….and don't much like the idea of going in the trench after we have had 3 months training with the guns. France is a very nice place' (25th June 1916) and of his time fighting in France, 'I got the fags and very nice they were too. I think you can trust the newspapers that say things are moving all along the line….the other day they asked for 50 men to go up the line…I was one…& this morning they took 10 of the tallest fellows & they are going up the line tonight', 'Both sides have been shelling hard all day but none have got to our village yet. I went up the line last night with some shells….at nights the battle field is lit up with star shells', 'If we get much marching in our new boots there will be some sore feet as they are very hard', 'Much to our dislike we have had to have our hair all off, but it feels nice & cool but looks rotten', 'I don't blame Cyril for keeping out of it if he can. I've had quit [sic] enough of it', 'There is no news & I am sure the war's not over yet….at present they are busy shelling us', in one letter also briefly referring to soldiers having witnessed the Angels of Mons, and in another reporting on a football match in which he had been involved, 'We played K Battery R.H.A., they have 5 prows [sic] playing for them. I played….& had Barns (?) for West Bromwich against me….so I had my work cut out any how he was the only forward that did not score...for the last 20 minutes played centre half as we had a man knocked out & then I had an officer & a Sgt to mark, both international men, the officer got his cap in 1913 & the Sgt got his last year, they were hot...they were A1. I think we did very well. We had a Leeds City man playing for us, he is good but not a patch on their men...'and in one of the final letters Hughes writes from hospital, 'I am a stretcher case....I am not building my hopes on Blighty so as not to get disappointed, but one never knows....It seems funny that just as I come out of action the weather picked up, it makes a chap think of the poor fellows he left behind when he gets in a comfortable place'. An interesting series of letters. Some light overall age wear and a few letters with areas of paper loss. Generally G to about VG, 32
