Scope and content
Private F Wright, Service number 11447, of 1st Royal Dragoons, 3rd Troop, A Squadron, wrote from Silver St Barracks, Dunbar. He says it is difficult to know why more York youths are not joining up. He expected army life to be hard, but was 'surprised to find it the very opposite' as they have 'two half-holidays a week and are seldom on duty after tea'. The pay is good, they have excellent food and everyone is friendly so 'It is a gentleman's life'. But 'joking apart', they have the satisfaction of knowing that someday they will do their 'little bit with the rest'.
