Letter to Mother - TN Wilmott
Sunday 25 October 2015
2/Worc Regt SundayMy dear motherVery many thanks for the Hereford Times and the letter I got today. I'm very sorry I have not written for such a long time but we have been having a rotten time in the trenches and I only managed to send a Field PC.At present they are giving us a slight rest from the trenches. We are going back again on Friday.The CO has gone on leave today. He deserves it too.We are having a football match tomorrow D Coy having challenged the rest of the Bn. I am getting up the rest of the Battn side. It ought to be a good game.I had a letter from Audrey yesterday saying she saw one of the fellows in the Battn who was on leave. They have just started giving officers leave again so I may get some leave in about a months time.Winter is coming. However I don't think anything can be worse than what we have just been through.I see the King has had to make an appeal for men.Give my best wishes to Robert.Your loving son Tom
