A QR code could be placed at a relevant war
memorial, it points to
a Wikibook collecting all the soldiers' letters, with scans and transcripts.
I'd rather the QR code point (via QRpedia) to a Wikipedia article
about the memorial, and have that point to relevant pages on commons/
Wikisource, and the book.
It could be difficult writing Wikipedia articles about these soldiers.
Wikisource has author pages for a lot of people who are not notable,
dont have a bio because writing one is *hard*, etc.

Wikisource Author pages provide sufficient space for small
descriptions of the author, and Portal pages can be used to collect
all related authors and works together.
