Lance Corporal Henry Gunton, Service number 12081, of Royal Army Medical Corps, was serving with the 5th Field Ambulance, 2nd Division, 1st Army Corp, British Expeditionary Force. He states that they are having 'very bad weather indeed out here, rain all the time'. He adds he hopes to be spared so he can thank the Lord Mayor when he returns to York. He is keeping the box to show his wife and asks to excuse pencil as they cannot get ink to write with. He ends by saying he 'delivers letters round Burton Stone Lane' as a GPO York employee.
