The joyful news
Extracts from this letter
"At 12.30 came the joyful news that Armistice was agreed. signed. Bells began ringing everywhere, bugles and whistles blowing. At 1 o'clock we are allowed out until 6. So off I went to Walton, found the small town packed with people, all carrying flags ...flags wherever you looked. A sight scene not to be forgotten..."
"Even now I can't believe realise that the war is over, it will take me a few days to do that. Every moment I expect to hear it's only a rumour, & yet it must be true. Fancy to have escaped shells and bombs all these years, its marvellous."
