Pte Rees Jones's letters home

Private Rees Jones's letters home to his sisters in Cwmgors in the period 1914-18, he died on 6th October 1918 in Salonica.
The content is sometimes family related but nevertheless of historic interest, I think.

The letters are now very badly faded and flimsy, the colouring is not the original but a device to make the writing as legible as possible.

1.First Letter is dated May 22nd, no year.
2.A note on the back of the above letter, from another Pte Rees Jones of the 4th Welsh Regiment who received a parcel in error.
3.Second letter, dated April 4th 1918
4.Second page of above
5.Third letter, undated
6.Second page of the above
