Harrogate Herald - 27th July 1917

W H Breare letter

With Brady came his youngest brother, Private K Brady. He is only 19 now, but has been in the Army six months on this side of the water. He is in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. There are quite a number of Harrogate boys in this lot. For instance, there is Reynard, from Killinghall Moor, and G Holmes, of Starbeck. Private K Brady holds the cross guns for marksmanship in rifle shooting. A very good record for a boy of 19, is it not?

W H Breare letter

Private T Richardson, of the West Yorks, now attached to the Railway Operating Department, of the Royal Engineers, came to see me last Wednesday. He is the son of Mrs Waring, 2 Park Row, Harrogate. Before the war he was in business for himself. Robert Cooper, formerly a collector for the Gas Company, and Reynard, of Upper Denmark Street, are in his lot. Reynard, I believe, is an engine driver. Richardson met various men of Harrogate out at the Front, but the name's have escaped him. He is married and has five children, all of whom are well. Last winter on the Somme he was troubled with rheumatism and sent down the line.
