Harrogate Herald - 23rd May 1917
Driver T Flynn says :
I have had the pleasure of coming across three more
Knaresborough boys since I came up the line again - Bob Blades,
better known as "The Nut", and also his son Arthur
Blades, and
young Taylor. I was never so "capped" in my life when I
came across old Bob, and I can tell you we had a good shake
of th hand and a talk about the old gang. I know there are a few
younger men in the same gang, also single, that ought to be out
here. Fritz keeps on sending over "dinners" for three, and
we are sending back by return post "dinners" eight at a
time, so they cannot go short of grub, and one would be greedy if he
ate the lot himself. I saw in last week's Knaresborough Post the
photos of a good old Farnham family - George Howard's lads. I worked
with Jack at Robson's, but I did not know he had joined the Army
till I saw his photo. Well, keep on smiling, as we will all be back
soon in Blighty.
