Correspondence, 17 Nov 1915 to 15 Feb 1916 Book Number 7 Letter
dated 16 Dec 1915 to Hodgkinson from Mary Briggs, Mayoress of
Lancaster.
“Dear Mr Hodgkinson,
We wrote to the Daily News
and in reply they state that:- The D. N. Fund has succeeded in
supplying the whole of the armies of the Mediterranean and France and
Flanders – so I hope that by the time you get this letter the 5th
Battn. will have safely received its share of plum puddings. I
enclose a programme of an entertainment get up by some small people,
the amount realized was too small to send something out as coming
directly from them, so I used it, as a little help towards the Xmas
turkey. Would you mind sending them a little acknowledgement. I have
already done so, but I find that nothing pleases the children so much,
as a real letter from “the front”. The amount they made was £4.15.
I hope the pickles have
arrived and that they are what the men want. I don’t quite know if I
have sent enough to go round, it’s rather guess work ordering for so
many. But you must let me know what you want, then I’ll do my best to
get them for you.
Hoping you will all have
as Happy a Christmas as possible and with all good wishes.
Believe me, Sincerely
yours,
Mary Briggs.”

Poem about Shrapnel, the

Ode in honour of our
Regimental Pet ‘Shrapnel’ who attained the honour attending maternity
1st May 1916 at Saulty, Pas De Calais.
All
Hail! The bonny first of May
In all the year, of days
the day
When Earth seems bright
with sunshine and glitter
Today our hearts are unco
glad
For though we dinna ken
the dad
‘tis true our dear old
Shrap has had some litter
Long since we picked her
up at Ypres
E’vn then we vowed that we
would keep her
As time rolled on our love
grew deeper and more
That she’s become a petite
mere
It surely would be hardly
fair
To ‘see her off’ – a dog
so rare! Bow-wow!
Of rats she’d take no kind
of heed
She’d lots of points, with
little breed,
And now she but to lie and
feed her pups
They number just a lucky
three
But though they have no
pedigree
Their butchers if they die
will be Herr Krupps
They came when times were
bad, its true
In time they’ll be reduced
to two.
The price of meal (and
puppies too) is up.
When I this fact to you
unfold
Do no despair – for I’ve
been told
That Kaiser Billy had been
sold “Von Pup”

deplore the loss of such good officers and men.
The Chaplain has gone to
arrange for the graves and for burial tomorrow. Please let me know by
the men with the GS Wagon (if the information has not come sooner) the
names and religions of the killed). Corporal Baldwin will be in

“Adjt. re Complaints
against Post Corporal. 1. Corporal Donohue states that all HQ
letters are taken away by HQ Orderly. Even when the former
separates official letters the orderly puts them together in one bag
and says he will sort at the other end. This complaint should
therefore go to OC HQ Coy. 2. Corporal Donohue did not give notice
of alteration of collection, but no inconvenience to any body was
caused thereby, as he states that all Company letters were in the
Orderly Room and he made arrangements for any letters received later
to be sent to him this morning. this was done. The same procedure
will be suitable for the future. All Company letters should be
ready for the Post Corporal by 8 p.m. Special letters should be sent to him by runner before
8 a.m. next morning as he leaves earlier for post now. A Hodgkinson,
