Letter from Cpl Percy Day to his sister, Julia, 4 Sep 1901.
Day describes taking Boer prisoners, ‘I shall not join the Army again in a hurry not if they were to pay me 10/- a day. The next Army I shall join will be the Salvation Army as we have had a rough time. I have been half starved once or twice.’
