A Slough soldier came to visit his old school while home on leave.
July 30th 1917
Lieutenant Henry Chilverd R.F.A came to the school today. He was promoted to Sec[ond] Lieutenant in the regular army eighteen months ago for ‘carrying on’ with his battery under exceptional circumstances.
He had been in the army before the war and also served in the North West – Canada. His younger brother was the first of our old boys to be killed in this war.
