*Letter from 'An Old Soldier & Reservist' Langdale: {{quote-left}}Just a line regarding the Langdale Recruits that have been on leave this week-end. Most of the men are married men with wives & large families & they have all sacrificed good homes & good situations. The men, no doubt would be very glad to see their homes again, but we think you have done them a great injustice by inflicting punishment in not returning on Friday. The weather was abominable & I suppose you do not consider the distance they have to walk to Windermere 10 miles through rain & snow, ... We think you might consider their cases & extend their leave until Monday hoping you will look on their cases.{{quote-right}} <ref>{{lowther|recno=29}}</ref>
*Equipment: O.C. Companies will arrange to issue their equipment, as received from the Quatrermaster, & have each NCO & man properly fitted.<ref>{{lowther|recno=135}}</ref>
