Private Stanley Mann (son of Mr J Mann, of the Harrogate Billposting Company, who, by the way, is a faithful friend of mine) has been home on his first leave. He has not gone out to France yet because he is not quite old enough. He used to work with his father in the Billposting Company before joining up. I was delighted to se the Stanley has grown into a fine stalwart soldier and to hear that he likes his job. He is very clever with horses, so has been chosen out of a number as groom to his officer, therefore he is in his element.
