W H Breare letter

Signalman J W Noble looked in on Monday. He is a son of Mr and Mrs Noble, of Crab Lane, Bilton. He was in to see me last January, and is now again on leave, [..] days, perhaps a little more. Noble was as well and jolly as ever. I was pleased to see him. You know these naval lads are silent chaps. They have plenty to tell, but they are not allowed. I've mentioned Douglas Lee, who was his chum. Lee, if you remember, went down in the Jutland Battle. Noble has been in the navy four years; prior to that he was in the grocery department of the Co-operative Stores in Harrogate.

In loving memory of Douglas Arthur Lee, AB Seaman, who lost his life on the Black Prince in the Jutland Battle, May 31st, 1916 - We shall meet again; the same sunny smile will greet me when the sea gives up its dead - Mother
