'Roedd Williams Parry ar y cychwyn yn hynod anhapus yn ei yrfa milwrol ac mae'n erfyn ar Silyn, yn sgîl ei swydd fel ysgrifennydd Bwrdd Penodiadau Prifysgol Cymru, i'w symud i gatrawd sy'n cynnwys milwyr Cymreig (ceir tystiolaeth o ymgais Silyn i gyflawni ei ddymuniad). Cafodd Williams Parry air o'r diwedd (llythyr dyddiedig 24 Ebrill 1917) ei fod am gael ei drosglwyddo i'r '1st Welsh (Caernarvon) Battery Royal Garrison Artillery'. Serch annedwyddwch Williams Parry, ceir enghreifftiau yn ei lythyrau o farddoniaeth a ysgrifennodd ar faes y gâd, sy'n cynnwys ei englynion coffa i'w gyfaill Robert Pritchard Evans (1884-1917) (llythyr dyddiedig 26 Ebrill 1917) a'i soned 'Mater Mea' (llythyr dyddiedig 3 Rhagfyr 1917). Yn ei lythyr dyddiedig 11 Tachwedd 1918, mae Williams Parry yn datgan ei orfoledd ar derfyn y rhyfel. Arwyddir sawl un o'r llythyrau oddi wrth Williams Parry â'r enw 'Llion', sef y ffugenw a ddefnyddiodd ar gyfer ei ymgais lwyddiannus i gipio cadair Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 1910. Arnodir dau lythyr yn llaw Mary Silyn Roberts.

= Correspondence, 1913-1928, largely to Robert (Silyn) Roberts from the poet and university lecturer R. Williams Parry, the earliest letters sent whilst Williams Parry was teaching at Cefnddwysarn school, near Bala, with subsequent correspondence following, in the main, his military career during the First World War. Williams Parry's wartime experience was initially extremely unhappy and he begs Silyn, as secretary of the Welsh Appointments Board of the University of Wales, to transfer him to a regiment which includes Welsh soldiers (there is evidence of Silyn's attempts to fulfil his wishes). Williams Parry would finally receive word (letter dated 24 April 1917) of his transfer to the 1st Welsh (Caernarvon) Battery Royal Garrison Artillery. However, despite his melancholy, the war letters contain poetry written at the time by Williams Parry, which includes his commemorative 'englynion' (strict-metre verses) to his friend Robert Pritchard Evans (1884-1917) (letter dated 26 April 1917) and his sonnet 'Mater Mea' (letter dated 3 December 1917). Williams Parry expresses his joy at the end of the war in a letter dated 11 November 1918. Many of Williams Parry's letters are signed 'Llion', which was the pseudonym he used in his successful attempt to win the bardic chair at the 1910 National Eisteddfod. Two letters are annotated in the hand of Mary Silyn Roberts.
The following are also included:
Letter, 1 May 1915, to Robert (Silyn) Roberts from W. J. Williams (1878-1952), which appears to relate an account of how R. Williams Parry and others were assessed for war work.

Letters, April 1917, between Robert (Silyn) Roberts and the Anglo-Welsh poet, author and educator Arthur Glyn Prys-Jones (1888-1987) regarding the publication of a volume of Anglo-Welsh poetry; in one letter, Silyn expresses his opinion of contemporary Welsh poets.
Letter, 3 July 1918, from 'Kitty' in London, enquiring about publications relating to R. Williams Parry and to the Breton educator Marie Souvestre (1830-1905).
