Extract of letter from Jack Watson:

 

"Belgium

September 1917....

 

..... Yesterday was another day  such as this we had the afternoon off so I and two other boys rode into Patterson and Allard - you know this well known firm - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and when going along the main road who should I see but Bill Ward, his lot were on their way to the line.  He had a star on his shoulder, Bill comes from Ormond Street and at one time belonged to George's Batt."
