Lance Corporal Arthur Smithson, Service number 496, of 46 Company, Motor Transport, Army Service Corps, was serving with the 5th Cavalry Brigade of the British Expeditionary Force. He states that he is proud to be the 'recipient of such a nice souvenir' and trusts he will be spared 'to see the enemy made to lie low'. He hopes to return to York 'to spend many happy years in the town' of which he is proud. The letter is illustrated with a coloured picture of the flags of Great Britain and France.
