Harrogate Herald - 1st December 1915

Lance Corporal Young, of the Royal Field Artillery, is in the Royal Bath Hospital with shrapnel wounds in the foot. He was on the Armentieres line at the time. The British guns were shelling the German trenches preparatory to the infantry making a charge, and a stray shell which came over burst near by. Lance Corporal Young, whilst acknowledging that there was a shortage of shells last Spring, added that they always had enough. He is making good progress.
