Gough, General, Ve Armee Anglaise, two pages, 4to, Therapia, Constantinople, 27th March 1919, to Odette Bourdilloy de Gastinoy ('Mon chere petite Mademoiselle') in Geneva, in French. Gough explains the delay in answering his correspondent's charming and flattering letter and continues to comment 'I even think myself that the big battle I fought a year ago now, against an enormous superiority, before St. Quentin and for the defence of Amiens is the brightest because of our resistance and because of the losses we inflicted on the Boshes and this battle saved France and the English army and it meant the beginning of the end of the German hopes'. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Gough and signed by him in the lower left corner. VG €125-150
