Private Herbert Scholes Grant

 
 

Harrogate Herald - 6th February 1918

Acknowledging the Herald, Private Herbert Scholes Grant says : 

It is sad to see the different names of lads who have given of their best and laid down a noble life. I often think if those who hesitate about changing the name of our Music Hall though of the boys who are fighting and roughing it out here, they would hesitate no longer, and move anything that was German at once. I am of opinion some are still thoughtless of those who are fighting for freedom and right; but they are not a majority, thank goodness. Coming back from leave I had the company of a Harrogate man; they called him Grant. We were together all the way from York, so, as you know, helped to cheer each other up a bit.
