Harrogate Herald - 5th December 1917

Gunner J B Wright says : 

Many thanks for current issue of the Herald, which came to hand last Monday. Its delivery here is fairly regular, like Fritz's shells, but a deal more interesting. I see a reference to two young men whom I know - Sergeant Calver, whose parents I know very well, and also Private Hogg. I hope the injury he has received will not prove a permanent one. In Sergeant Calver's case, I trust his recovery will soon come about, as I understand the aftereffects of gas are not very desirable. I have had occasion to dive into my respirator on a few occasions, but up to now am pleased to say have not had a dose. In conclusion, I hope that the new Mayor's term of office may soon see the celebration of a victorious peace.
