Lt. Robert J. Kelly, 6th Royal Irish Regiment, item 8
Title
Lt. Robert J. Kelly, 6th Royal Irish Regiment, item 8
Description
English: Lieutenant Robert J. Kelly served with the 6th Royal Irish Regiment before being captured in France and spending the rest of the war in POW camps. There are two letters from POW camps here (one newspaper and a blue envelope to be opened in case of death). One of the letters acknowledges his status as a POW.

A certificate of his elevation to the rank of Second Lieutenant is shown, as are his medals and cap badges, which are framed.

There are three photographs. One shows Robert seated, smoking a pipe. A second shows him sat beside a bed while a third shows him in Black Watch uniform.

A letter from George V after his release is shown which includes the line: "The Queen joins me in welcoming you on you release from the miseries and hardhips which you have endured with so much patience and courage".
