Harrogate Herald - 12th December 1917

W H Breare letter

Driver G Webster, Royal Field Artillery, at one time worked in our establishment. His home is 43 Regent Street, Harrogate. After leaving us he drove a cab. He has been out in France two years and seven months, during which he was seven weeks in hospital owing to an accident. Driver Allinson, of Bilton, is in the same battery and well. Driver Webster has five sons in the Army. One, a sergeant of the West Yorks, who was wounded at Loos. He is now at Ripon in the 2/5th West Yorks. One is in Egypt, a motor mechanic; another in the 2/5th West Yorks; another on a submarine, one in training, and another shortly of military age. Webster looked in to see me the other day. He was in rare form and happy as a sand-boy. He couldn't well be otherwise, could he?
