Harrogate Herald - 22nd December 1915

Private A M Simpson gives an interesting account of his journey to the Front in a letter to Mr Cawood, of Harrogate. He says :

..................................[Then at the end of a very long letter]

There are three more Harrogate lads in our company - Tom Bradley, Tom Hogan, and a chap called Woodhall, who used to be a carriage washer. I have told you all that I think will interest you, so now I will finish. I had better send my kindest regards to Mrs Cawood, May Amvill, and all the lads, not forgetting yourself. Remember me to all my old workmates, and wish everybody as happy a Christmas as we could have under the circumstances.
