Bandsman William E Raine, Service number 9263, of Headquarters, 2nd Yorkshire Regiment, was serving with the 21st Brigade, 7th division of the British Expeditionary Force. He states that it was very good of his people to send his name in so he could get the gift that 'all the York heroes' have received. He adds that he has been a citizen of York since his birth and hopes to 'return to the good old city safe after this terrible crisis is over'. He signs himself as 'One of the Green Howards'.
