“Times” Beings the News

Charles Goodwin, son of Mr. and Gerge William Goodwin, of West Street. Darfield has now been out in the Middle East for nearly a ye4r.

It is two years since he Joined the Forces. He is a clerk at general headquarters out there, and, from his letters appears to be contented. Recently he attended a banquet at which the King of Egypt and his Queen were present.

All he wishes for is a steady flow of letters, and regular copies the “South Yorkshire Times.”

He says “Any news you miss, I get it in the “Times”,’ which I look forward to with great pleasure.”

He has met another Darfteld youth, George Cartledge, out there.
