Private H W Dent, Mechanical Transport Section, Army Service Corps, writes :

"I have met Tommy Coy, of Starbeck, and Reggie Thompson, whose father keeps the big furniture shop in James Street. Today a young fellow came from Paris with a car, and he recognised me. He is called Haw, and used to work at Johnson's garage, and his people live in King Edward's Drive".

Private Dent writes in a cheery strain, and is more inclined to ask questions about home affairs than to give information of his own doings. In a later letter he says he has met G R Oddy, of Harrogate.
