Harrogate Herald - 6th June 1917
W H Breare letter
I had a visit on Monday from Corporal G W Sawbridge,
who is at St George's Hospital. He is making good progress. Whilst
lying at the Casualty Clearing Station he saw Albert Duncan, who was
the stage manager at the Kursaal, attending to the electric light.
Other Harrogate men he came across were Joe Gibson, out porter;
Petch, fruiterer; Hartley, who worked at Mr Hunter's Cambridge
Street shop; and "Micky" Harrison, painter, he spied at
the entrance of a dug-out as he was coming out of the line. He also
saw Sergeant Morrison and Malthouse, of Knaresborough; Tom Saville, E
Sherwood, the St Luke's cricketer. This recalled pleasant
memories, as Sawbridge was also a player with this club. My visitor
was only half a mile from his brother Frank, who was wounded the day
after Sawbridge, and subsequently died. He recovered from that
wound, but had only been back a day when he got hit again on Easter
Monday. A younger brother was also wounded the same day as Frank. He
is having ten days' leave before returning to a training centre.
Harrogate was brought prominently to mind on one occasion by the
display of a large poster in a YMCA hut, with the invitation,
"Visit Harrogate for health", and a view of the Prospect
Hill and Stray. He speaks highly of the attention received in
hospital. He has put on three stone since arriving in England.
