Lieutenant A. E. Lowe - by mid December
1914 he had now been posted to E Company of the Hunts. Cyclist Reserve
Battalion. [2/1stH.C.B.] Colour
Sergeant Clayton sends an interesting letter from the Hunts Cyclist
Battalion at Filey. The B Company recently gave a concert in aid of Hornsea
Convalescent Home, where they send all at the sick from a whole Battalion.
"Our large room," he says, "was crowded, and we were able to
send four pounds ten shillings. The next day (Sunday) at our service a
collection was made for the same subject, and 25s. 7d. was collected from
the men of A and B Companies. I have just come in (10 o'clock) a from a
special job where some of my men are watching a farmhouse and at 10.15 I am
off again with Captain Lowe visiting sentries along the cliffs and shall be
out most of the night. Last night a bad accident happened to Willows, of our
company. He was on duty on the cliffs near Clayton, and, on getting over a
wide fence, fell on his head. His leg was also injured by the wire, and it
was at first thought the limb broken. A motor lorry was sent out for him,
with stretcher-bearers, and he was quickly conveyed to our billets, where he
had every care and attention given him. We have many bad arms just now. All
the boys are quite well except Willows and Hector, from
