title: Cartoon from Punch "Swinging the lead, Sir"

description: My interest in the First World War originated from chatting to my two grandfathers who had both served in the army, and survived into their 80s or 90s. However my early reading about the war centred around old copies of Punch magazine, especially the cartoons. Although this was not a childhood favourite it is one that made me laugh when (for this archive) I was looking for the cartoons I really remembered.

title: Letter of death of a son to a mother. (1)

description: The original letter is written on a page torn out of an ordinary notebook and was probably similar to thousands written to homes at that time, but it is a moving expression of sympathy to a grieving family.
The most comforting part is the line - "He said. tell my mother that I died trusting in Jesus as my Saviour and that I shall meet her yonder."  The family would have been greatly comforted to know that when he knew he was dying he was "resigned to God's will and patiently awaited the end".  His thoughts were clearly towards a better, heavenly home. 
All I know about him was that he was my mother's uncle.

Editor's Comment:
The soldier mentioned is most likely to be identified with Serjeant 15052 J. Thomas, 2nd Bn. Grenadier Guards, buried at St. Pierre Cemetery, Amiens. The letter is addressed from the New Zealand Stationary Hospital, which was sited at Amiens from July 1916 to May 1917, and explicitly states that Thomas was buried in the 'Soldiers  Cemetery in this city'. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records list only one Thomas buried around Amiens with the correct date of death. The 2nd Bn Grenadier Guards went into action on the 15th September, taking part in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, a hamlet a mile away from Ginchy.

title: Interview with L.J. Ounsworth, Royal Artillery (part 5)

description: Fifth part of six sections of a recording of a long interview with L.J. Ounsworth, Royal Artillery (interviewer unknown), continues directly from the fourth part. Length 45 mins approx, includes: the appalling conditions at North Command Depot Royal Artillery at Ripon, which provoked a successful mutiny over rations. After refusing to eat, a Captain P.W.M. Bate arranges for another better meal to be prepared and served to the men. Conditions are so poor that Ounsworth does all he can to get posted back to active service, eventually ending up in the 144th Heavy Battery in France. He describes in detail the football games he plays in for his battery in Britain - nine of the eleven players were English or Scottish League professional footballers. On arrival at Le Havre he endures the terrible conditions of the bullring there (a sort of assault course [at Etaples?]) He witnesses a mutiny in May 1917, but does not know what happened to those involved. He reaches his battery on the day of the start of the battle of Messines, 7 or 8 June 1917. He descibes coming under bombardment with gas shells, as well as the technicalities of other ordinance. Continues directly into the sixth part.
