Harrogate Herald - 6th February 1918
Acknowledging the Herald, Private Herbert Scholes
Grant says :
It is sad to see the different names of lads who
have given of their best and laid down a noble life. I often think
if those who hesitate about changing the name of our Music Hall
though of the boys who are fighting and roughing it out here, they
would hesitate no longer, and move anything that was German at once.
I am of opinion some are still thoughtless of those who are fighting
for freedom and right; but they are not a majority, thank goodness.
Coming back from leave I had the company of a Harrogate man; they
called him Grant. We were together all the way from York, so, as you
know, helped to cheer each other up a bit.
