    3. My first cousin twice removed, John SCHNEIDER private in the 1st/4th Bn York and Lancs regt,. was injured in ww1 and hospitalised. He was subsequently killed in action 9/10/1917 his grave/memorial panel is at the Tyne Cot Memorial. In the time he was in the hospital he made a belt with his initials, the initials Y and L (York and Lanc.), 1917, a couple of flags and the initials S.P.H. Would anyone have any idea of what those last initials would stand for? Could it possibly be a convalescent hospital and if so would anyone know the name? Was this a common practice to have soldiers do this type of handy work while they were convalescing? Carol Lylyk Calgary Alberta Canada
