Saturday 10th July: Private J Albone, 2nd Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, who rejoined the army during the first week of war has been at the Front nearly the whole time. His wife has received from him the following appreciation of his services signed by Major-General Gough, commanding 7th Division: “No. 3/7790 Private J Albone, 2nd Beds Regiment. Your CO and Brigade Commander have informed me that you have distinguished yourself by conspicuous bravery in the field on 16th June 1915. I have read their report and, although promotion and decoration cannot be given in every case, I should like you to know that your gallant action is recognised and how greatly it is appreciated”.
