Letter from Pat (Percival), son of Henry and Alice Argyle of Bunnythorpe, to his young brother Leslie. Pat enlisted with his brother Len and served in World War One. They both died at Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli in 1915. Pat (1890-1915) was born in Carterton, Wairarapa, and moved with his family to Bunnythorpe in 1902.

The letter was originally 4 pages and the last page (also from Pat to Leslie) was added before the letter was sent.
