I looked at a letter
Robert Graves wrote to Siegfried Sassoon. Graves was commenting on the casualties and his rumored death. I thought this was interesting because I didn't realize people back home never knew if their loved one was truly dead or it was just a rumor. Graves talks about how after the Battle of Sommes a rumor was started about his death because he was in such poor condition. It's hard to read his handwriting completely because it is so fine but it is very interesting to be able to access this source.
