Harrogate Herald - 21st March 1917

W H Breare letter

Private M Powell, who many of you will know, having been invalided home with trench fever, has been in hospital three months at St Annes-on-Sea. He was in Harrogate on ten days' leave. He called in to see me. He is the son of Mr and Mrs Powell, of Fairfield, Skipton Road. By the time you read this he will be back in hospital at Blackpool or St Annes. He has been nineteen months in France Sergeant Tinsley and Private Sabin were pals of his at the Front. Powell still has a bit of a limp.
