Harrogate Herald - 25th April 1917

Driver Hubert Jewitt says : 

I have now the greatest pleasure in writing these few lines to you, hoping they may find you in the best of health, as I am sorry to say it leaves me very bad at present, having had to come to hospital with severe pleurisy. I have been in bed for over a month with poultices back and front, but I am pleased to say I am up again, but very weak yet. I have been sent convalescent for three months, so I think I have done with the firing line for a while, but I think I have done a good share, as I have been in over a year in the firing line with one illness. Will you please forward the paper to the under mentioned address, as it is about a week sooner in reaching me now. With best wishes and kind regards.
