    Links to letters from Ted MacNachtan to his father, Col. Neil F. MacNachtan, C.V.D. (Date written / Date published:)
    * Mar 2. 1915 / Mar 26, 1915

    * Apr 30, 1915 / May 21, 1915

    At the time these letters to his father, Lieut-Col. N.F. MacNachtan were written, he was a Sergeant, 4th Battery, 1st Brigade, C.F.A.

    In addition to his five letters there are a number of other letters from Port Hope and Cobourg soldiers. Several of them refer to Edmund as "Ted."
