PamJ Posted 23 February , 2023 Share Posted 23 February , 2023 Good morning, I am trying to locate a book - An Actor-Soldier letters 1914-198 by Henry Doughty. His wife, Ida, published the book in 1926, after his death in 1922. As they were connected to my family I would love to access/copy some details to put in a small booklet i am trying to put together about them, and wondered if anywone could assist please?

Admin Michelle Young Posted 23 February , 2023 Admin Share Posted 23 February , 2023 Welcome to the forum. A quick Google search brings up this, rather pricey!https://www.abebooks.co.uk/Actor-Soldier-Extracts-letter-1914-1919-Doughty-Henry/14732895681/bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johntaylor Posted 23 February , 2023 Share Posted 23 February , 2023 There's a copy at the Imperial War Museum in London, but I'm not sure how convenient that is for you: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1500034918 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamJ Posted 23 February , 2023 Author Share Posted 23 February , 2023 Wow, the first photo I have seen of Mr Doughty, thankyou. His wife was a very interesting and wealthy lady who took in my grandma in 1905, even remembering her in her final will. The IWM don't have the time to help with my enquiry and I live too far away to visit unfortunately. I am hoping to have a photo of her foreword signature and to be able to read some of the poetry. Are we allowed on this forum to send attachments? I have attached a photo of Mrs Doughty, nee Walter, with my aunt, circa 1909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
