W H Breare letter

By the way, I should have told you long since that Second Lieutenant H Lingard, RFA, son of Mrs Lingard, Queen Parade, has been mentioned in despatches. The honour was first published on the 13th of May, but I could not get hold of the particulars. I understand that Lingard previous to this award had received two, what I believe are called, meritorious cards for deeds highly creditable to him. You will be interested to know that his sister is one of the ladies who comes every Wednesday morning to help us to put your papers in wrappers speedily, so that you may get them without delay.
