1 item

Corporal W T Stockdale, Service number 5716, of Army Service Corps, wrote from abroad. He states that he was 'born within the city walls in Tanner St', and will do his best to 'uphold the honour of the old city of York'. He adds he has enclosed a cutting from the Grangemouth News which shows that they 'sometimes enjoy life on active service as well as in peace time'. The undated cutting reports an event, presided over by Corporal Stockdale, when transport workers from the Port celebrated the birth of a Private's baby at a café with songs and melodeon music.
