Harrogate Herald - 8th December 1915

Bandsman Lamb, of the 7th Notts and Derby Regiment, is in the Royal Bath Hospital with a nervous breakdown. He was in the attack at Loos, and was hit three times with shrapnel, but in each case it was a spent piece of shell and did not penetrate the flesh. He had other narrow escapes. A high explosive on one occasion blew in two dugouts. In the one dugout every man was killed, and in the other in which Lamb was several of them were more or less injured. Lamb is making good progress.
