Mr. Will Lloyd, of Green Meadow, Ammanford, who is undergoing training at Seaford with the Cardiff battalion forming the 11 th Welsh Regiment, writes to his brother thus ;-
“What do you think of things at the front? The Germans are giving us all the way to go, they are not a long way from us, are they? I expect they will make a mess of Ostend .
We had some fun here last night. We were out manoeuvring on the mountains, when we saw some signalling going on not far away.
Half the Battalion made for the spot, and when they got there the men had gone. After a while a farm house was on fire, and we found out that the same men had done it. Orders were given to keep under cover. After being out all night we had them. They were twelve German spies. I need not tell you they are now under arrest here. What do you think of that? They say tat there are quiet a number here still, so we are kept on the look out.
There was a big Rugby match on here this afternoon between the South Wales Border's and our lot. We had two officers from the Cardiff Firsts. Consequently, you will not be surprised to hear that we won nine points to nil.”
