From the newspapers Nottingham Evening Post March 22, 1916 Sherwood Foresters Turn Out A Newspaper The War has been responsible for the appearance of many amateur newspapers at the front, which will undoubtedly have a more than sentimental value in future years. The 12th Sherwood Foresters (Pioneers) by, shall we say a fortunate accident are now finding relaxation from more strenuous duties in producing a little journal which is gaining a rapidly increasing circle of readers. In a letter to his parents at West Bridgford, Q.M.S. Leslie W.L. TYLER relates how he became a publisher. "The other week" he says, "we found in a knocked down shop a printing machine, also some printers ink, paper, type, &c. Then we started to clean the half bricks and mortar out of it and get it into ship-shape order. This we did and started to publish a paper periodically when time and Huns permitted, which we called the Wipers Times, and Salient News. One or two of the officers joined us in the undertaking - the captain being editor, another officer being sub-editor, and your humble was made publisher. Well we got going, and turned out the first issue of 100 copies. We all had one each and sent one to the colonel, second in command, adjutant and all the officers. Two days after the first issue was published, the general commanding our division sent for one or two. He went to G.H.Q. and now we have to send one to G.H.Q. every publication, one each for the Staff, one for divisional Staff, and several others, and we have to strike off about 250 copies each issue... I am sending a copy to you under another cover. No doubt it will be of some value in time to come, so hang onto it like grim death." Q.M.S. TYLER, an old High School boy, who enlisted in the City Battalion at the outbreak of the war, says, "I wish they would make all the 'slackers' join up and so help to relieve some of the boys in the trenches and give them a longer rest when they come out from the 'doings'... Where will they be and what will they answer to the boys when they come home? I wouldn't like to be one of them. for the feeling is rather warm against them out here." Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
