Scope and content
Private W A Bowles, Service number 6046, of B Squadron, Royal Scots Greys, was serving with the British Expeditionary Force. He states that it is a 'godsend' that York has not forgotten the soldiers who are 'undergoing the hardship and fatigue of active service for a good cause of their King and Country'. He hopes the 'Young Men of York have answered Lord Kitchener's appeal for Recruits' and that when in France they will keep up England's reputation against the 'Barbarians in deeds'. He ends by saying he hopes they will soon be victorious and 'the world will be rid of a Domineering Nation'.
