Wednesday 19th April 1916: We received from the Committee the
April number of The Hart the official
magazine of the 4th Bedfordshire Regiment(1) and we congratulate editor
Corporal J F Watt on the issue for it abounds with interesting matter. The Hart is issued with the object of
raising funds for the benefit of prisoners of war and widows and orphans of the
Bedfordshire Regiment. Sold at 2d monthly it can be obtained post-free of “The
Hart”, 4th Beds, Felixstowe at 1/9 per quarter. The April number contains a
fine cartoon “How Kulture Came to Us” by John Hassall, an excellent photo of
