Kent Messenger, January 29th 1916:
From the Trenches
A FOOTBALL
To the Editor of the Kent Messenger,
Sir, – Being an inhabitant of Kent, do you think one of your readers would kindly send us a football?
It is hard to get a football out here, and a game after the boys have come out of the trenches livens things up.
Yours truly,
Pte. A Stevens, 3809, Lewis Gun Section, 6th Royal West Kent, B.E.F., France

The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment, 1914-1919 / by
Christopher Thomas Atkinson- Published 1924.
• Thus the 6th R.W.K. found themselves in the front
trenches with orders to resume the attack early on
July 3rd [1916]…
…The Queens, on the right, had come up against
uncut wire, in front of which they were mown
mercilessly down, only a handful getting through into
the German trenches.
• …The losses had been terrible: 617 officers and men
had gone into action, 375 were casualties.
