Harrogate Herald  -  3rd October 1917

W H Breare letter

Many Harrogate people know Private J Wood, of the Middlesex. He was head postman in Harrogate, and had only been out the Front six months, when he lost a leg, had shrapnel wounds in the back and a damaged shoulder. He has been transferred from 2nd Canadian Hospital, France, of which he speaks highly, to Leicester, and I am glad to say he is now getting on well. Wood will be remembered in Harrogate and the Dales as a well-known Wesleyan local preacher. I am sure his friends will rejoice to know that he is recovering so satisfactorily.
