Summary

Letters written by Leonard John (Len) Harvey to his family in Moonta. Letters are sent from London and Blackpool while on leave, from "France", from the trenches and billetts. Topics include speculation about Billy Hughes' future in light of the conscription referendum loss, South Australian politics including his father's activities as Minister of Education, rationing in England and comments about the war including a comment about John Monash. Letters written later in the year talk about repatriation. Out of chronological sequence is a letter which had a strip of canvas attached. The letter claims that the canvas is from the plane of the Red Baron.
