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."
