Harrogate Herald - 10th January 1917

In a letter to Mr W H Breare, Private T Balme says : 

It is a bit lively at times when Fritz is sending his shells over. He blew our happy little home away about a fortnight ago, but luckily there was no one in it at the time, as our party were at work. I have not had the pleasure to meet any Harrogate lads yet, but I know there is a lot out here somewhere. I am pleased to say that I am in the best of health. Wishing you all the best of luck in the New Year.
