Paul was part of the British Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.) which the British Government sent to France in the early stages of World War 1. A few of the letters which Paul sent home from the Western Front still survive. They include one which was written just four weeks before his death.
"Thinking outrageously i write in cursive, i hide in my bed with the lights on the floor, wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers i see my own breath on the face of the door, oh im not quite sleeping, oh im fast in bed, there on the wall in the bedroom creeping i see a wasp with its wings outstretched."
