Yes - he lived until the 1930's and also served in WW1.
The letter was written in 1900 and he was married with the first two of his six children.
Things like that mean more than a list of births, marriages and deaths, don't they?

Absolutely. Cousins have just cleared out a 92 year old Aunties flat, who has recently died, and have found loads of treasures (paper ones) they are all coming up to me on Thursday and bringing letters, cards, photos etc. They keep saying 'You wait till you see what we've got' I can't wait

How exciting - you will be on cloud nine and I am sure will read and reread everything getting to know about your aunt and her past.
I would be interested to hear how you get on. Great news (well sad that your aunt has died but you know what I mean).
