Typescript of 'howlers' written by soldiers' wives regarding repayment of separation allowances
They include the following: 'I have not received no pay since my husband went from nowhere,' 'My husband has gone away to the Mind Sweepers', 'Mrs Haynes has been put to bed with a little lad, wife of Peter Haynes', and 'I have been in bed with the doctor for three days. He does not seem to do me any good. If you don't send at once, I shall have to go to another one.'
