Private Tom Double, working at Tirydail, and living at Llandebie, has sent a long letter to Mr. J. Rees, Tynewydd House, King's Road, Llandebie, giving thrilling experiences he has had to pass through, and describing how some of his companions were literally blown to pieces at the front.
He went out during the first week in August, and has been in the fighting until recently, when he was invalided home to Sandgate, where he lies in hospital.
He writes very severely of the bombastic talk of people who say what they would do if they were in the trenches. They have, he said, never been in trenches or met any German soldiers, or they would not talk and write as they do.
Among the interesting items of his own work he gives incidents connected with scouting and with the awkward position of a man like himself, put on guard to show officers their way to headquarters, and, being spotted, becoming target for the “potting” game of the enemy.
