The following letter, showing the
spirit of the soldiers in the trenches
in France, was written by a brother
of Harold Chadwick, of Cordova, and
published in the Manchester Guardian.
Since the publication of the letter the
writer has been reported “missing.'’
Sir;—We would like to make an ap
peal to the readers of your valuable
paper for a few mouth organs or a
melodeon, to puss nway the weary
hours when we are out of the firing
line. The only music we have is a
comb band, and a buscuit tin for a
drum. The noise Is enough to bring
about the fall of Berlin.
We would like to express the opin
ion of the boys in the trenches about
the conscientious objector. Of course,
some have reasonable excuses, but the
majority of excuses are disgusting to
read about. The best cure for them
would be to put them on patrol or re
pairing barbed wire, and they will she
what the Germans think of the motto,
■Thou shall not kill." They would
give them the music of a dozen ma
chine guns and a supply of gas to
sooth their senses. Tell them to pull
themselves together and be true Brit
ons and help to secure the safety of
the British empire, because it is the
freest country on God's earth.
It will be of interest to say our bat
talion has been out here eight months,
and in the trenches all winter, and
' ' ■ "■ - ■ L
we are as happy as the day we left
England, except that we have lost
some of our comrades. We must con
clude hy wishing your paper the best
of luck, from two Harpurhey boys.
