Harrogate Herald - 1st December 1915

On Saturday morning, also, Private J H Brown, son of Mr and Mrs J H Brown, of Starbeck, came to see me. He is of the 1/5th West Yorks, and has been out since April. Unfortunately, he is in a Sheffield hospital now. He came home with a twisted ankle and torn ligaments. He is able to just walk about, and the hospital authorities have been good enough to let him out, and I saw him on Saturday morning. Apart from his ankle he was all right. Before he left he saw the Alderson's, of Harrogate, and Ellerker, of Ripon, all those of whom were quite well. Brown, before he went off to the war, worked at the Harrogate Gas Office. He sends his regards and wishes for good luck to his pals at the Front.
