A historical find was discovered on the Australian coast. On October 28th, the Brown family discovered a glass container containing letters during garbage collection at Wharton Beach, near Esperance, Western Australia, the Associated Press reported.
Inside the bottle used for Schweppes' drink were two letters dated August 15, 1916, written by Malcolm Neville, aged 27, and William Harley, aged 37. Both soldiers served on the HMAT A70 Ballarat during World War I.
It turned out that a year after the letter was sent, Neville had died at the front, and Harley had returned alive and died of cancer in 1934. Neville asked the man who found the bottle to deliver his letter to his mother.
Deb Brown noted that the glass did not float in the water for long - waves carried it to the shore, and it remained under the sand for a century. Even though the papers were wet, the text remained clearly readable.
Harley's granddaughter, Anne Turner, called this event a "miracle." Experts assess this find as a historical monument reminiscent of the human destinies of the First World War.
