Pte William Lucas (Silvan), 1st Remount Unit: In camp in England. In a postcard to his wife – ‘I am at Rollerstone Camp and my tent leaks infamously, the weather has brought broken rain in torrents yesterday. Smiley has arrived and will arrange for him to come and help me in this camp. No chance of my going to the front for some time. I’ll cable when I do’.
