Harrogate Herald - 1st December 1915

Trooper Alec Hull writes : 

Just a few lines to thank you for your welcome paper, which you so kindly send every week, and which we enjoy reading so much. Our squadron is in dug-outs just behind the firing line. We go up to the trenches every night on working parties in company with a lot of more regular cavalry, so you can tell we fully understand what it is to be over the knees in mud and water, and I am sorry to say we have had one or two casualties, although all the Harrogate lads are keeping fit and well. We often meet the 5th West Yorks, and, of course, have many a cheery word and talk of old times at Harrogate will close now, with best wishes for your paper.
