Len Argyle (1894-1915) was one of the sons of Henry and Alice Argyle of Bunnythorpe. He and his brother Pat (Percival) enlisted in the NZ Expeditionary Forces together and served in World War One. This letter, from Len to his brothers, Hector and Leslie, is presumed to be from Gallipoli. Len and Pat both died at Chunuk Bair in 1915.
