  Letters home share Galt soldier's experience Cambridge Times By Rob Konduros, Guest columnist In the 1980s, a treasure chest of papers and photos was purchased at a house auction in Cambridge containing the letters of a young soldier who was born and educated in Galt and who fought in the First World War. Frank Eason was 23 when the war started in 1914. He was a cadet stationed in Fredericton, N.B. In beautifully written letters home, which are excerpted below, he described to his mother and father being shipped to Europe with the 12th Battalion in the First Canadian Expeditionary Force, training Canadian soldiers in England how to shoot rifles, and going to France and Flanders and then being wounded in 1916.....
