The following are men who have sent us the Army post-card briefly stating that they are well and have received papers and parcels, or whose letters contain views that have repeatedly been expressed by other correspondents, but show their friends that they are all right :

Driver C Knowles says : 

It is very nice indeed for the boys out here to keep in touch with the old town through your paper. I can assure you it is nearly as good as a walk round the town, as we get to know so many things that are taking place. There are no more Harrogate boys near me, but there are one or two from different parts of Yorkshire, who are interested in h, and they seem to enjoy the Harrogate Herald as much as I do myself. They soon remind me if I do not hand it round as soon as I have finished it.
