James Harold Bacon (1893-1918), Harriston, letters, 1908-1980. [See also A2009.75 - 47 letters to his sister Isabell]. Of the 250 letters listed below, most (140) are to his Mother, but the collection includes 44 to his boyhood friend and cousin, Samuel Stockton (who he occasionally addresses as "Uncle" ; 46 to his fiance Gladys Martin; one to his sister Vera; one to his sister Margaret; one to his grandmother Stockton, and one to his father Abraham. James Harold Bacon enlisted 14 Sept. 1915, so most follow that date. Many of the letters from James have "Canadian Soldier's Letter" written on the front, along with the address; many also have been opened and resealed with tape marked "Opened by Censor"; some with rubber stamp "Passed Field Censor". Most of the letters and envelopes addressed to Gladys Martin are numbered; see Jim's letter to her 15 July 1917; not all letters have been found. There are also letters following the death of James Bacon; most letters are from the Department of Militia and Defence, Ottawa, 1918-1919.
