Notes on the War from the "Lake Lodge Record" of 1917
Postcard which was sent to Gladys Drope
Gladys Drope kept in touch with many of the soldiers and she also knit socks for them. In this excerpt from a letter written by soldier, Harold L. Grout, he thanks her for the socks that she has sent. Grout discusses the "76th" and their location at Shorncliffe. He mentions Lake Lodge, "You seem to be losing all your boys from 'Lake Lodge'. I hope this war doesn't last till they all have to go. Some say the first seven years of it will be the worst. Hoping you are all well and remember me to all my friends at L.L. Yours sincerely, Driver Harold L. Grout".
