Private James Riddell to Nurse Cynthia Kennedy

James Riddell has fallen in love with his nurse and sends her love letters from his sickbed. ‘There is no one on the ward thinks more of you than I do,’ he says in another note to her.

His letters are preserved in the Liddle Collection at the University of Leeds, alongside other documents relating to Cynthia’s wartime experience. On the back of the photograph of James, she has written: ‘James Riddell, Black Watch Regiment. Severe head wound (trepanning). My helpmate in Ward D for many months. Norfolk War Hospital (Military), Thorpe, Nr Norwich’. She didn’t reciprocate his feelings, but it is obvious she had a soft spot for him.
