SOLDIERS MEET
Four soldiers with the B.N.A.F, all of Knottingley, have discovered each others
whereabouts and two have met - Sapper J.R. Pitt of Westfield Avenue and
George Johnson of Morley Estate.
Sapper Pitt, in a letter to 'The Express' says he was working at a rest
camp and met 'Sonny' while he was on leave. They made arrangements
for a days outing and talked about 'the old place' but, "we shall have to
make this place do till we get back".
He adds;
"Sonny has seen 'Sally' Haigh and 'Verdi' Holdery of Knottingley, but
Pitt has not met them so all four are going to try to meet. We see the old
paper every week and we shall be glad when we sit against the fire reading
it",
the letter concludes.
