Adams. We have had 36 hours of it straight off. I think we have done well. I was taking ammunition up all day long and bringing loads of wounded back on limbers. I had 40 at one trip. It was awful to see the poor fellows trying to get back to the dressing station, some with arms gone and some with legs gone and all sorts. I shall never forget it the longest day I live and yet I am glad I was in it. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. I have sent a pc to [?]. I can't write any more just now as we are standing by to take ammo up at any moment. 190 shells at a time we keep having to lift our horses as shells drop in amongst them... ', the second dated 4 July 1916, Hemmel, Somme offensive, 'Dearest darling, I am quite safe although we are going through it terrible this week. I have heard tonight our casualties in the 4 Div alone for 1st July number 5000. I received your lovely letter today dated 29th June, also Bells papers. Can't write much. Glad to hear all are well. Be brave little girl. P.S. Yes tell Ma I hope to be home to see our baby and all before long. I had a bit of shrapnel through (steel helmet) but am unhurt (tin hat saved me)', the postcard for July 7th telling of the great casualties of the Sheffield Battalion, '... there's not many left to tell the tale only 8 in one company, it has been awful ever since the 1st July. Adams and I are still together, we have all had narrow escapes and a lot killed... we are now downhearted but only a bit homesick... ', the card for 14th July noting that he has been made head waiter and caterer to the Officers' Mess which he's been on for two days, 'There is plenty to do as I have charge of whisky, all eatables and clean, silver and buy in. I expect you would laugh to see me serving a five course dinner all underground. We are just like rats in holes now all underground... ', the next card for 18th July thanking for her nice letter and longing to be with her, 'I am tired of these hundred guns going off night and day around me. I had a narrow escape again yesterday. I was coming out of the Officers' Mess with the breakfast plates when a German shell burst right 300 yards away and a large piece came whizzing over and dropped not a yard from me, a bit big enough to knock a horse out, but I am to escape somehow... Alf has joined the Flying Corps... Don't worry about me darling sweetheart... kiss the wee girls for me', the 21st July postcard talking of a bombardment the previous night when a big German 5.9 shell bursting at the back of his dugout, 'I did not hear it, they say the earth trembled' and with a P.S. asking not to destroy the postcards, the card for 5th August saying 'I am pleased to say I am quite well only oh so tired of all this, they can hear nothing here except guns firing and shells bursting around, it is a treat to see a horse up here, no living thing except rats of which we are swarmed. I am writing this in the shadow of the Old Cloth Hall which stands out against the sky all shattered and torn, it is shocking to see the houses not a brick that has not been touched. Two years today since I left you and it seems like two hundred. I would be satisfied if I could have just one day with you all to ourselves but I suppose that cannot be yet... the guns are shaking the very ground under me... ', all signed as Charlie and written across message and address panels, plus one postcard addressed to Mrs C. Haynes on active service, dated 21st December and postmarked 22nd December 1914, with censor's stamp, a final eleventh colour picture postcard of similar nature simply inscribed to verso 'Wouldn't you like to be like this pet?', all with some slight dust-soiling but generally very good An uncommon collection of uncensored postcards giving a firsthand account of the Battle of the Somme and its aftermath by an ordinary soldier. An article about these postcards was published in Picture Postcard Annual 2016, pp. 38-40.
