27th November 1917

Announcement Date: 27/11/1917

“I don’t think I told you that when we were marching from Ypres to the trenches just before the stunt a moving picture man took our photos as we filed past in full fighting kit.  He was winding away as I passed so ought to be in it.  I don’t know who he was representing but the film might possibly get out your way.  I’d give something to see the film myself.”
