Yours forever: William Trickey Woods was blinded in Gallipoli during World War I. That didn t stop him from writing letters on a typewriter and signing them by hand.
Hundreds of letters and pocket diaries – some perfectly intact, some falling apart – are stored away in shoe-boxes and folders across Marlborough.
Maia Hart speaks to their safe-keepers to commemorate this year’s Anzac Day.
