WHO WILL?
Sergeant Gutteridge (long known to our readers as Corporal Gutteridge), of Bromley, and now “somewhere in France,” writes:-
“Have any of your Bromley readers a gramophone they could send the boys? One is apt to get dull when all is quiet, and I have an idea a good tune would make all the difference.
If someone would be so kind as to send the boys of our Battalion a gramophone I am sure they would more than appreciate their kind gift.
You have my address – Y
our sincerely,
J Gutteridge”
Just Discovered marvellous J Gutteridge whilst looking for West Kent Servicemen thanks to your web pages. It gives an insight into a soldiers life through his letters even if its with a positive spin as it wouldn’t get through the sensors otherwise I’m sure. many thanks C Semplis
