Description:This postcard was published by R. W. Dawson, Stafford This postcard is interesting because of the information as follows: "Brocton Camp 30 November 1918 Dear Rob, I received your letter alright, they came in bunch about the end of October as late as Sept 8th. There is a N.Z. mail in now but it takes a good deal of sorting as the boys are all over the place now. Last night some of the boys played havoc with the 2 Canteens, broke the windows and took charge, getting away with all sorts of stuff, watches, fountain pens, cigarettes, besides drinking the beer and damaging a lot of other stuff. The trouble is that the boys, don’t like the long hours, wearing full packs and carrying rifles, as they kicked up a big stir at the Head Quarters and most of their wishes were granted. But still they could have been easy on the Canteen, which are our best friends, the damage is estimated at 1,500 pounds. When war was on, they were all anxious to learn for their own good, but now it is different somehow. Well must close, hoping it finds you all well. With love from your Brother George"
