32507/ 9th Batt York & Lancs C Company 12 Platoon L.G.S. I.E.F. Dear Jack I have received your letter and books alright. The small book is very handy as it does not take up much room. I thank you very much for sending them. I have just had a letter from Kate and she is getting on alright. We are still in the same place only it is a bit warmer this time up, and not so quiet, but I am going on alright. You will see that we have a Y.M. up here but it is only a very small one. If you dont get a letter from me every week, keep writing as it is very hard at times to get letters away. I did not see any processions at Easter as we were in an out of the way place but there would be plenty no doubt. They go to church at all times here. I have seen them going at five in the morning and bells ringing at three. Every body here seems to go to church regular. we see soom strange sights out here, but the scenery is very pretty. I guess Willie would fancy himself when writing to you. I will write again as soon as possible. I am please that you are both getting on alright and keeping well. With best love Harry The scans show that Harry's reference to the Y.M. is, of course the Y.M.C.A. One of the comments gives a link to a website about the Y.M.C.A. in WW1. It is a U.S. site but may be of interest. BL
