Harrogate Herald - 25th December 1918
W H Breare letter
I had a visit from Private R H Johnson and his wife
on Thursday. He resides at 15 Poplar Grove, Harrogate, and has been
in France two years and nine months. He was formerly with the 51st
Highland Division, but is now with the 55th Patrol Auxiliary
Company, attached to the Canadian Forestry Corps, and stationed near
Rouen. He was in hospital with the "flu" when the
armistice was signed, but has got all right again. He has seen East
and Read, of Albert Road, who were enquiring about him in the
Harrogate Herald. He has two brothers and a brother-in-law in the
Army. Johnson had the good fortune to meet his eldest brother the
first week he was in France. The brother is a Mons man, and has been
wounded three times, whilst his brother-in-law has been hit twice.
