No. 1087 Sgt. Stubbs W. 4th
Dragoon Guards.
This NCO embarked with the regiment

to embarkation.
63, Grecian Street,
Maidstone,
Kent.
The officer i/c Records Canterbury.
In reply to your letter of the 18th
inst. My reason for wishing to rejoin the colours is;-
That I am not able to get any employment,
except at my old trade, which is a Baker, although I am being
well paid, I prefer the life as a soldier.
My reason for leaving was that, at the time
my wife was in bad health and my service almost expired. I was
anxious about her, otherwise I should never have thought about
leaving.
I am your obedient servant.
W. Stubbs.
Date Stamped 21 August 1913.
