Harrogate Herald - 7th November 1917

W H Breare letter

Driver F Clarke, son of Mr & Mrs F Clarke, of 5 Skipton Road, looked in whilst on leave, which terminated yesterday. Sapper Simpson, of Pine Street, was with him. Clarke has been 14 months out, and during that time only came across two Harrogate lads, Simpson and Trooper Watson, of the Yorkshire Hussars. The latter he met so long ago as a year this month. Watson belongs to Oatlands, and when he called on me was from a hospital in Cheltenham. His photo was in the Herald last week.
