Scope and content

Lieutenant George Herbert of Army Service Corps, wrote from Main Supply Depot, Sighthill Station, Glasgow. He states that the 'idea is well worthy of universal initiation had not the time passed' and asks for 2 more tins for his 'brother officers'. He expects to go to the Front within the next week and trusts he will have the 'force and true fighting spirit so characteristic of a Yorkshireman' and be a credit to his city of York. He ends by saying he is a Liberal and an admirer of the Lord Mayor's work as Chairman of the York Liberal Party.
