  	A BUGLER'S STORY. Bugler Bronson Hanslow, of D Company, 19th Battalion, in a letter to his father, F. G. C. Hanslow, of Mosman, writes-'It Is Impossible to tell you how good and kind the English people are to us. Motor cars everywhere, afternoon teas, dinners, picture shows. I shall never forget the kindness while I was in hospital. The ladies would sit by the side of our beds and bring books and anything else they thought would interest us. Then, in the afternoons they would come with their motor cars and take the convalescents for 30 or 40 mile rides. As we have the best of food, it is no wonder we get well so quickly. We could not accept half the invitations to visit the homes of our kind friends. I am staying at present with an officer of the Oxfotd and Bucks Light Infantry. He was very good to me while I was in hospital. There was great rejoicing in his house today. His brother had returned from the trenches in France. This officer says the Germans are beaten, though not yet conquered. Round his end of the front the Germans have been surrendering in little batches, all the fighting is knocked out of them. They are miserable wretched, and depressed they say they cannot stand it any longer, living in trenches day and night, and never knowing the moment when the British guns will blow them up. Some of the prisoners said that if their comrades were not taken out of the place they were in by November 29 a lot more would surrender. They wanted to get back to their wives and children. One prisioner said that the best way to get back to his wife and children was through London, meaning that if he surrendered he would be taken to London where his life would be safe, and when peace was declared he would be able to go back to his home, wife and children but if he stayed in the trenches he would be killed. You need not expect me back just yet. I am going to have another smack at the enemy." Bugler Hanslow is 17 years of age. The Sydney Morning Herald, NSW, Friday, 7 January 1916

  	LORD LINCOLNSHIRE. VISITED BY AUSTRALIAN BUGLER. EX-GOVERNOR'S MEMORIES. The days of Lord and Lady Carrington in New South Wales are recalled in the description of the ex-Governor's tribute to the bravery of Australian soldiers, as chronicled by a Sydney boy-bugler who is now among the convalescents in England. Our popular ex Governor's present title is Marquis of Lincolnshire. Bugler Bronson Hanslow, of the 13th Battalion, in a letter from London to his father, Mr F. G. C. Hanslow, of Mosman, writes.-"It has been snowing very heavily, and we feel the cold very much. I was out for a walk in High Wycombe when I met a young lady. She asked me if I was an Australian soldier, and I said, 'Yes, from Sydney.' She said her father knew Sydney very well, and invited me over to their house to spend the next evening. When I got there she introduced me to her father, and he was Lord Carrington, and the lady whom I met was Lady Vera Carrington, his daughter. Lord Carrington told me he was Governor of New South Wales between 20 and 30 years ago, and that one his daughters was born in Sydney. He mentioned the names of a number of gentlemen in Sydney and told me interesting stories of some of his trips while Governor. He asked me how old I was, and I told him 17 years. He says the Australian soldiers are the bravest on earth. 'So are the Australian girls,' said Lady Vera. My kind friend smiled and suddenly stopped and began to think. It seemed to me that Lord Carrington was living his life over again as Governor of New South Wales. We had a very pleasant evening, and it was after 11 o'clock before he would let me go. He drove me home in his motor car, and Lady Vera went with us. He told me to come to see him whenever I liked. Next day I was told that my kind host had lost his only son Viscount Wendover, in the war. Yet he did not speak of his great loss. What a splendid type o£ English gentleman he is."
