*Letter from William Johnson, member of the Recruiting Staff: {{quote-left}}"The residents of Botchergate were very much disappointed....when the advance party of your Battalion was taken by James Street to the Station. I have been asked by a deputation of wives & friends of the men to ask if you will be kind enough to march the men by way of Botchergate, when they leave the City. The Station Authorities will not allow either wife or other relative in the Station, & it will be the only chance of seeing their dear ones who are going to fight for us, on their march to the Station, by doing so you will be doing a graceful act, & will earn the thanks of the many friends who look upon the “Lonsdales”"[[Lonsdales]]" as their particular Battalion....wishing you good luck.{{quote-right}}" <ref>{{lowther|recno=117}}</ref>
