Org'n British Open letter to men who have left Overton: Your numbers are Legion now over 100, many of you lads became men overnight. Leaving your homes in the village, nonetheless willing because of compulsory service than was the case of your elders in 1914, you are fighting against the same enemy as they and on the same soil. Everything is much the same – canteens, songs, going away, longing for leave, homecomings, goodbyes, laughter and tears – back again to the mud, all the same. One thing is surely different. As in hundreds of villages like ours you leave behind a branch of the British Legion formed and on the sure foundation of a comradeship formed so long ago and yet still enduring the passing years. We pray that you may complete the task to which you have set your whole energy and return with the advantage of being welcomed by the Legion waiting like we shall be like Gunga Din, fifty paces right flank near to serve. So in the meantime we from whom you have accepted the torch ask you to accept all else we have to offer – honorary membership of your village branch with the informal atmosphere of the Memorial Institute to meet your old and new comrades in service for our beloved King and country, whenever you have a pass home.
