Gunner A Gledhill, of the RFA, has been in.
he is the son of Mr T W and Mrs Gledhill, 81 Mayfield Grove.
The father used to drive for the late Dr Atkinson. Gledhill
at one time was one of the three Harrogate men who were pals in the
same unit. One of them, E Johnson, of New Park, was killed at
Messines. The other was Driver G T Horner, who is all right. The
latter's father was at one time fireman at the Royal Baths. Gledhill
was very well, and highly enjoying his leave.

Gunner A Gledhill writes :
I got that parcel last week which you sent to France
for me. They had sent it straight back to London, and I got it quite
safe in the end. I must thank you for your kindness. The cards have
come in very handy for passing the nights on. hey don's look after
us here as they do at home.

Another man invalided home is Gunner A Gledhill, Royal
Field Artillery, son of Mr and Mrs Thomas Gledhill. The
father formerly drove for the late Dr Atkinson. Gledhill is
suffering from the effects of mustard gas. He will not be going out
for some time, if ever again. He was in at Paschendaele Ridge, and
before that at the Somme, Anore, Messines, and Nieuport. He came
across the son of Alderman Sheffield, who is in the Army Service
Corps, but he did not know his initials. Gledhill spoke of G
Horner, 1 Mayfield Terrace, who last august was badly kicked by a
mule. Horner has had two accidents, but was alright at last
accounts.
