:{{quote-left}}Dear Sir, I am writing these few lines thanking you for the parcel I received yesterday, also “Juno” and the customers of the “Black Cock”, Distington. We are now out of the [[trench]]es for a rest a few miles behind the firing line, living in canvas huts in a wood surrounded by nothing else but mud. The Old Toms, pipe and tobacco came in handy, and I divided the cigs between my pals. Again thanking you and wishing your paper every success.{{quote-right}} <ref>''[[In Canvas Huts Surrounded by Mud]]'' – [[Workington Star and Harrington Guardian]].
