Harrogate Herald - 4th April 1917

Private G Blacker, writing from Egypt, says : 

Glad to say I am keeping well, and hope you are the same. Our camp is going to be favoured with a concert by Miss Lena Ashwell's Concert Party some time in April. I think they are on tour out here. We have had a heavy downfall of rain, and it did not forget to let us know it, but pleased to say the rainy season is drawing to a close; then I think we shall have about eight of nine months of fine weather. Being out here is all right. I have missed the wintry weather, which, according to the papers, you have been experiencing.

The following are men who have sent us the Army post-card briefly stating that they are well and have received papers and parcels, or whose letters contain views that have repeatedly been expressed by other correspondents, but show their friends that they are all right :
