Dear Sir,
It has just occurred to me to write and ask for information as to the position of supplies of Caterpillar Pins.
Being now six months since returning to England I would like to have a pin as the majority of my friends have theirs already.
I remain.
Yours,
A.M. Curnock

Dear Sir,
Having now discovered the letter which enclosed my Gil Caterpillar, I am able to write and ask if one in gold could be purchased through the Club, I believe the price is 30s 3d which I am willing to pay.
Also I wish to thank you for the presented one, which has been admired by all, and with which I will never part.
Yours sincerely,
R M Curnock ex Sgt.
Yours, R. M. Curnock
