Morning. I believe it reads - THESE 14 MEN ACTED AS RUNNERS BETWEEN FIRING LINE, BATTALION HEADQUARTERS & ADVANCED BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS DURING THE BATTALION ATTACK ON POZIERES. THEIR DEVOTION TO DUTY WAS A THING TO MARVEL AT, NOT ONE HESITATED A MOMENT WITH RESULT THAT BATTALION HEADQUARTERS & BRIGADE WERE KEPT INFORMED OF THE POSITION. THE WORK OF RUNNERS AND STRETCHER BEARERS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL; HOW ANY SURVIVE THE HELL FURY OF POZIERES IS A WONDER. TELEPHONIC FOWARD (?) REQUESTING WAS IMPOSSIBLE. THUS ALL THE WORK OF COMMUNICATION DEVOLVED ON THESE RUNNERS. THE FOURTEEN MEN GUIDED THE RELIEVING BATTALION TO THE POSITION. I think that's it . . .

Dear List This has come to me for the second time within 1 minute, as I have already got one copy, I do not need a second copy. I have contacted you before on this problem. Please fix it.
