Those who had a talk with Sergt. Reg Atkinson, on furlough
last week, must have been proud of the splendid men Matlock
Bath has sent to serve. He speaks in high terms of the work
of the Derbyshire Yeomanry, and particularly what the Matlock
Troop are doing, and he wished us to thank those who has so
kindly sent gifts to the Troops of shirts, socks, tobacco and
cigarettes."*.
*Neville Aubrey Pearson (1888-1977) joined the Leeds "Pals" but was granted a commission in 1915
and transferred to the Durham Light Infantry ("Derbyshire Times", 8 October 1915.).
