32507/ 9th Batt York & Lancs Regt C Coy 12 platoon L.G.S. I.E.F. Dear Jack I hope you are getting on alright. I have received the book and was very pleased with it. I have not received a letter for a long time. things have been a bit rough out here just lately something unusual after beening so quiet. Our Coy was in close support about 200yards behind front line we were not wanted in the front line so we did not have to fire. I can tell you support line is worst than the front. The fight started about 3 oclock in the morning and Johnny Austrian started to come over about 7 oclock. Well he did get a reception I can tell you, them in the front line simply mowed them down and he got no farther than the wire. I went in the front line during the day to have a look when things had quietened down. The prisoners are the poorest lot I have seen and told us they thought that they were going to meet the Italians and where surprised to see our lads in the trenches. it was a big attack and he meant breaking through if he could. The prisoners had plenty of money, all notes and was pleased to to be made prisoners, well the biggest part of them. They were a mixed lot Austrians, Hungarians and a large number of Rumanians. there objective was to get on to the plain but I can tell you he got a good beating especially on our divisional front. I shall be glad to see you all again and I hope you are both keeping in good health. I shall be able to tell you more when I see you. I hope this year sees the finish of the war, but I think that the enemy is more fed up than what we are. I have had a letter from home and pleased to say they are keeping well. Write as often as you can. With Love to you both Harry (P.S.) I am putting an Austrian note in I hope you get it.  Click on the Images to enlarge. Anyone any idea what the note would have been worth?

| Letter from Jack to Kate June 1917 - with scan | | I have found another letter that is, I am afraid out of order. It was filed with other material and I didn?t recognise its significance.

I have certificates in midwifery and ?hygiene? that could well have been a result of the exams [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 04-Sep-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en artistas
