• Notes

  SENT FLOWERS HOME THAT WERE PICKED AT LENS Henry Delion, of the Telegraph staff this morning received a letter from his son, Bugler Harry Delion, who enlisted with the 118th Battalion, in which he sent a number of interesting souvenirs of the Canadian drive on Lens. They were English flowers that had been planted near the mining city and were in bloom at the present and which were picked by young Delion during one of the assaults that were made by the Canadian troops on the city. Bugler Delion states that he is growing tall, fat and strong but he needs every ounce he has for the work that they are being called upon to delay after day. He informs his parents that the parcels sent by them and friends are being received regularly. The Chronicle Telegraph 16 Aug 1917, p. 3
