Contains photocopied material. Typed transcript (photocopy) of a letter from Harry Norton, Egypt, to his wife, dated 26 March 1916.

The following extract is taken from page 56:

"I could have stayed at Head Quarters here as Q.M.S. but I want to do something & poke a bayonet in a German before I come home. We are so full of drill now that when the time comes for us to go into action it will be just like going on parade ... I will be able to talk & tell you such a lot when I get back 'home sweet home' again and it wont be long now Dearie. Only a few more months now, and what a happy time we will have."
