Scope and content
Able Seaman Charles J Holt of Royal Naval Reserve, wrote from HMS Welland. He states that all 'York men will gladly uphold the honour of the old Flag' and he trusts they will gain 'another glorious victory for King and Country'. They were 'grieved to hear the sad news of Scarborough' and the 'glorious victory of Admiral Beatty has gained the greatest admiration of the flotilla'. He ends by saying he hopes to see York again but if he does not they will 'go down with the old Flag flying at the Peak'. The letter includes unrelated notes in a different hand.
