Scope and content
Sergeant J E Townsley of Army Service Corps, Mechanical [?] Transport, with 2 Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery, Ammunition Column, was serving with the British Expeditionary Force. He states he hopes to bring back his gift to York as a 'memento in years to come'. He adds that he trusts in God to bring him home again 'hoping to find England free from any devastation caused by the enemy other than the cruel and unwarlike raid' on the coast. He also sent a Field Service postcard on the same day to say he had received the parcel.
