Scope and content
The series consists of letters and photographs from Andrew Stuart Baird written to his parents and sister Agnes while working in Alberta, 1910-1911 and serving overseas in the Canadian army in World War 1, 1916-1918. Most of the 1916-1918 letters are transcribed and typed and overlap with the few originals. There are two letters to Mr. and Mrs. Baird from friends overseas. The series also contains letters received by his parents after his death in 1918, including two photographs of his grave from 1921.
