Scope and content

Private Ronald P Murchison, Service number 8102, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 'The Black Watch', wrote from Ligg Camp, Ross-shire. He states that the 'handsome gift' presented to all York soldiers and sailors 'revived pleasant memories of York in a place many hundreds of miles from the old city'. He adds that he has seen in the York papers sent to him the long list of men who are serving their country and he is sure 'York has every reason to be proud of its record'.
