Private Thomas Middleton of Army Service Corps, Bradford wrote from 51 Swinnerton Avenue, Leeman Road, York. He states that he will keep the box for remembrance and will frame it. He has cut out the container label to keep in his 'small booth' and will take it with him all through the war. He says he expects to be for 'Duty of War' soon and that he is confident of the success of the Allies. He adds that he is poor but would like to return a New Year's gift as a 'memento of this Great War'.
