Letter from and membership card belonging to Sergeant R. W. Readhead

Letter from Sergeant Ralph William Readhead to his wife, written while he was in hospital recovering from a bullet wound to the arm. The letter is accompanied by a handwritten transcript, and a label saying that Readhead was 'injured on the Somme' (although the battle usually known by that name did not occur until the following year), and Readhead's membership card for The Northumberland Fusiliers' South African Volunteers' Association. Part of a collection relating to Ralph William Readhead of the 4th East Yorks.

中士拉尔夫·威廉·里德黑德致妻子的信件，写于他因手臂枪伤住院康复期间。信件附有手写抄本、一张标注里德黑德“在索姆河受伤”的标签（尽管通常以此为名的战役次年才爆发），以及里德黑德所持有的诺森伯兰燧发枪团南非志愿者协会会员证（The Northumberland Fusiliers' South African Volunteers' Association）。此信件为与第4东约克郡团的拉尔夫·威廉·里德黑德相关的藏品之一部分。
