Harrogate Herald - 2nd December 1915

A Ashley writes : 

Just a few lines while I have a bit of spare time to thank you for the Herald, which I received yesterday. I appreciate it very much, and will not fail to pass it on to the other chaps from Starbeck when I have read it. Although the fighting our here is very quiet, we have been very busy trench digging and doing other fatigues. I am sorry to hear about Private A P Smith getting killed, as I knew him quite well, both of us being at Whitley Bay together for some time. I have not much to say this time, so will close, again thanking you and wishing your paper every success.
