South Yorkshire Times – Saturday 15 August 1942

Re-Unions Out East.

Mrs. C. Smith, of West Street, has received a letter from her son, Angus C. Smith,(picture) who is in the Army in the Middle East, where he has been for the past two years, in the R.A.M.C.

He states that he has just gained his second class nursing certificate, along with a service stripe. While enjoying a short leave recently he met W. Randerson, a Darfield lad, and they spent an enjoyable evening together.

Randerson, who is a Petty Officer, is a son of Coun. R. Randerson.

Also he has met Eric Wilkinson, of Low Valley.

In his two years out there he had only previously met one lad from this district, Ron. Platts, of Middlecliffe.

He is grateful to Darfleld Comforts Fund for gifts, and to the “South Yorkshire Times,” which keeps him -to-date with local news.
