A First World War hero's letter from the trenches has been sold at auction for more than £1,000.
The son of the Bishop of Liverpool, Captain Noel Chavasse, became the most decorated serviceman in British military history, winning the VC twice.
The army medic was killed while serving with the 10th (Liverpool Scottish) Battalion of the King's Regiment.
The letter was not in mint condition and was sent to a friend of Chavasse's said auctioneer John Crane.
