Letter to Rev Walters from A W Hanson
2nd October 1916
Revd T.W. Walters.
Revd Sir,
You will think me very unkind for not written to you for so long but since I came back from leave I have been very busy working until eight and nine at night and have had very little leisure time. Things also have been very quiet. I am pleased to see we managed to upset the Zepps when they come over our country.
Yesterday we had our Harvest Festival and the services were very nice. I don’t know whether I told you that we have built a church of our own here, which was a much needed place. I suppose everywhere is dull and uninteresting at home, I can tell from letters I have that little is happening.
I trust yourself family are in good health, I have had a bad cold for some time now.
Must close with kind regards to Mrs Walters & yourself
Yrs obediently
Albert Will Hanson

2nd 0ct. 1916. We reached our destination about midnight. A Zeppelin was reported about and the lights were lowered. After having tea we moved on to Les Lobes. I found the Mess personnel standing outside an estaminet. The Billeting Officer stated it was the only possible Mess and the owner refused to let us use a room. I went in and found two large rooms either of which would have done excellently, she remained adamant both rooms were required for her trade with the soldiers. She would not even permit breakfast to be cooked while we looked round. I informed her that as her rooms were so precious I would take care that no soldiers went in and placed a sentry on the door. As they sell beer costing 2d for 5d this did not please her. She complained my action had lost her much money but Area Commandant took no notice, the other estaminet profited.
On the opposite page is a sheet of newspaper, “Daily Sketch, Blinded Hero weds V.C. General’s Daughter”
I found a more complaisant Estaminet owner down the road and later on moved a Gunner 2nd Lt. who was monopolising a house to his own cheek another Gunner 2nd Lt. was doing the same further down the road and it was suggested that they might join forces – Instead the evicted Gunner moved in the opposite direction somewhere.

Letter from Alan King to Harry R King dated 30th September 1916.
France
September 30th 1916
My dear Harry,
Yours and Mother’s of the 24th to hand last night. I have replied to Mother’s. Since you wrote Ethel will have had my letter of course. I think I wrote Mother as soon as I came out of the trenches so she should have had it when you had mine if not before. Very likely they didn’t send it on at once from Cardiff. Her letter anyway was by no means as full as yours. We took our gas helmets in our satchels which hang round our necks but there was no occasion to use them fortunately. I think the wind was in our favour also. One night in our bay we all started asking each other if their eyes were watering & smarting. All the eyes were so Fritz had evidently put a tear shell some distance away. I couldn’t understand it as it was after the attack & there could be no gain in their causing us such mild discomfort. Of course we wore our Steel Helmets. I know of no cases where they were beneficial but there were many surely. A fellow was telling me he saw one of those shields you see advertised pierced by a bullet & the owner dead. You will read in the newspapers all we are allowed to tell you about the Tanks. We call them “Caterpillars” or did. They are immense armoured cars & very strong. Our first battle was theirs also. When we were advancing we kept on turning our heads to have a look at them. Our curiosity was very great. We had heard so many rumours about them which we didn’t believe till a week or so before the battle. I don’t really know how I felt throughout the affair. I think I considered myself very fortunate, was rather uneasy at times but in good spirits on the whole. Whilst consolidating in the captured trenches I had three games of draughts with my section sergeant & won during two heavy bombardments much to the other fellow’s amusements. Of course I thought a lot of home. We have had spasms of very good & very bad weather. When it’s wet it’s fearfully cold, otherwise it is quite warm. I have not seen a newspaper for some days but there are rumours of further successes which I hope are genuine. Rogers suddenly disappeared one day. I heard the following day he was in hospital with a breakdown. Today I heard he was expected to come out about five days ago. On Monday so many of us from the battalion were sent to guard German prisoners at a camp some distance away from the rest of the batt. Hundreds of them have passed through the camp & almost all of them seem pleased to be out of it. They are said to give themselves up in hundreds. Amongst them has been *** **** officers. One was a fearful blood. He wanted a “mantle” as it was cold, then a carriage to take him to his next destination as he disliked walking far. Several speak English perfectly. They give us buttons for cigarettes as souvenirs. Consequently to a large extent they are buttonless & we have few cigarettes. The blood said we were very young soldiers but very good ones. They all agree our artillery is very accurate too! Dickinson & Rogers (if he came out of hospital) are with the remainder of the batt so I have no more news of them. Being here means some delay in correspondence. Four of us however have made a fine dug-out & have a camp fire & hot supper every evening. A soldier soon becomes expert in cooking bacon, making tea, coffee & cocoa. I “went sick” with my ankle this morning with this result: – “N.Y.D. swelling, Excused Duty”. N.Y.D. I said meant “Not yet dead” & with the rest it sounds rather funny. I suppose it is “not yet diagnosed”. I can’t understand it. It’s not at all painful unless I run about or jerk it. Most of our fellows have applied a second time for commissions seem very likely to get them. Dickson & I have not. Rogers has.
With love to Ethel & best wishes to you. I had better close remaining,
Yours
Alan
Many Happy Returns.
