:{{quote-left}}Dear Sir, Just a line in your most valuable paper which I receive now and again. I am an old Workington lad, and have been out here fourteen months. I happened to come across a Lonsdale Company, which was the Workington Company, and I saw Dick Seymour and Jack Stewart, both my old school chums.<br>The Lonsdales had to [[Record of the XIth (Service) Battalion (Lonsdale) - Appendix B|pick a raiding party]], which they did, and I think they came off successfully. All the Regiments nearby them gave them credit for their splendid work. Twelve months since I happened to see the 5th Borders near the line and they are also doing great workout here. Our Regiment has had a severe blow at three places. The Lonsdales are now on rest, and are expecting to return to trenches shortly.{{quote-right}}<ref>''[[Had Severe Blows - Lonsdales Resting]]'' – [[Workington Star and Harrington Guardian]].
