I was having a look on the web last night this morning, and came across this diary written by Rev Peris Williams, army chaplain, 1914-16. The letter is held at The University Bangor.
I always find words like these really touching.
Translation: 'Tuesday, Oct 27th This morning after awaking I was uncertain that I would be of any use here to the boys. After coming down I opened the Bible and the first words that my eyes fell upon were these: 'Fear not, for I am with you, I am your God, be not dismayed: I will strengthen, I will support you, I will uphold you with my trusty hand' - Esiah 41.10. After breakfast I went as far as the 2nd RAMC [Royal Army Medical Corps] Hospital Congregational Schoolrooms Abington Avenue, to look for a young man called Robert Evans from Cefnmawr whom the Rev E. K. Jones had written to me about. I was given directions in order to find him by the men at the gates, but having gone to the department where he was, I was told that his health had improved to the extent that he had been allowed to leave and return to his accommodation. I went around the patients, asking them questions and trying to cheer them up; among them were men from Caernarfon, Conwy, Penmaenmawr, Cardiff, Tredegar, Chirk, New Broughton &tc. The poorliest of those I saw was a young man, about 19 years old, who had been brought to the hospital the previous night suffering from pneumonia. He was very ill. Poor fellow. 'Somebody's darling so young & so fair'.
