A Private write: —
“Quite by accident I have your address, on the postcard which I am enclosing. I saw there that you offer a Testament to any soldier, so I thought perhaps I might ask for more. Your postcard came to me when I received a second-hand, tunic — so I take it that it has not come to me by a mere chance, but that God has overruled it.
“I have been a Christian worker for over ten years, and as you send out Testaments I thought you might send me a parcel of tracts or Testaments, and I will deliver them in the camp. I have been here for a fortnight, and the camp has from eight to ten thousand in it, but no means of hearing of the Saviour.” — A.T.D.
From a Welsh Regiment one writes: —
“Recruits are now being called up by the hundreds, and about sixty to one hundred a day are passing through my hands to get their uniforms, etc. Can you spare me one hundred or two hundred of your Postcards to enable them to write for a New Testament, please?”

“I had one of your small booklets given to me by a friend in the trenches. I asked him how he obtained it. He said, ‘I had it from a friend who was killed in action on September 28th as a remembrance.’ I should be very glad if you would send me a Testament, also a copy of your small booklet. I have not a pocket Testament, and in a place like this.one would be of great use to me.”
A Private in the Cheshires writes: — “You must excuse the dirtiness of the card, for it is one I found in the trenches, and it is the only one I could get.”
