Due to their knowledge and understanding of the railways, many became Railway Troops based at railheads. The Great Western Railway Company formed four companies of Royal Engineers as many men from the company, including these clerical workers from Paddington, had enlisted to serve. Railheads were the nearest points to the front from which men and supplies travelled by train and were then taken to the battle line by motor vehicle or horse. There are three accompanying PDFs, each containing a collection of letters on the themes of the Dardanelles, training and the trenches. Others have touched on the technology of war, the movement of troops or conditions at the railheads in France. For example, some letter writers have detailed their experience of the trenches, injury, or active service in the Dardanelles and India or training prior going abroad. We have labelled each letter according to a theme from the First World War. Letters from the First World War, part one (1915) is based on the first half of the RAIL record. For this reason is it is helpful to see the letters as a whole group to get the most out of them and appreciate the nature of the collection. In such cases we have shown part of the letter in order to provide a sense of the original.Īcross the online resources Letters from the First World War, part one (1915) and Letters from the First World War, part two (1916-1918) it is possible to find more than one letter from the same person, or find references within the letters to those who have written.

However, we have not included full images for several letters as these would have proved too difficult to read online. Unusual or technical terms have been defined within the text. You may spot spelling or grammatical errors in the transcripts as we have transcribed the letters as they stand. Teachers may also wish to use the collection to develop their own resources. The documents should offer students a chance to develop their powers of evaluation and analysis. All letters have been transcribed, and selected letters have an audio version too.

There are 32 letters and 16 photographs in this resource.
