On this site "you will find a large collection of letters written and received by Cecil Moorhouse Slack, during the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Cecil's daughter-in-law, Lady Joan Slack, has put this collection into the public domain. These letters are a valuable source of information about the life of an infantry officer in the East Yorkshire Regiment in the 1914-1918 war, and about his fiancée, and their other friends and relations in Great Britain and Australia. On this site, you will also find activities for teachers and students, following National Curriculum Programmes of Study for Key Stages 2 and 3."
