Lance-Corporal Oldfield has been missing since June 19th. He has been in Egypt and the Dardanelles. His last letter, sent to his mother, was dated May 29th, and sent from the Dardanelles. In this he said:

I received your kind and welcome letter, and am pleased to hear you are all in the best of health. Considering all things, I am fairly well myself at present. You might send me some writing material and a few smokes. We have been in the firing line, and I have had my first experience of rifle and shell fire. I have returned safe and sound, but wet through, for it simply poured down. We were up to the waist in thick mud and water. I cannot say any more at present. Send writing material as soon as possible. With fondest love and best wishes to all.
Your loving son,
Frank.

Should any comrades in the Dardanelles hear anything about Lance-Corporal Oldfield, his mother will be deeply grateful if they will communicate it to her.

Before enlisting, Lance-Corporal Oldfield, was employed at Slack Mills, Hyde.
