On the eve of battle he wrote home to his parents from Spearman's
Hill, near Ladysmith:
"Dear Mother and Father,
Just a few lines hoping you all are well. I am quite well and I
wish Lizzie lots of happiness. We have a hard battle to fight in
a day or two, we are going through to ladysmith no matter what cost
- we are anxious for it to be over. There will be a lot killed but
I hope we shall succeed to relieve those poor fellows shut up there,
we are face to face with our enemy and we mean to do our duty to
a man and go through at this time. We can see the Boers from here
and they are in a very strong position. Do not worry for me. I feel
if I get through this it will be a good step towards the return
to Old England - God bless you all and my poor wife. If I fall,
try and comfort her, we must do our duty and fight like British
soldiers as our Country has a lot at stake and we have an artful
and deceitful enemy to cope with but beat them we must and will,
we hear there are nearly 50,000 to fight here, they are stronger
than us. The paper came in handy. I had none. We have never received
anything from England yet only a small piece of pudding but we are
not near the railway now so it is hard to get things to us but it
is worst for the poor fellows in Ladysmith, Walter is sending one
as well as he is alright and sends his best respect to you all -
give my love to all the girls and tell them to accept this as a
letter to all, I was pleased with yours today, the heat is 114 in
the shade today.
Goodbye this time, from your affectionate son. William Hardwicke
Tell Joe to be a good boy."

Private
Snowling, 2nd Norfolks— Cause of Death.
HC Deb 21 October 1902 vol 113 cc351-2 351
MR.
STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye) To ask the Secretary of State
for War whether, in view of the assurance conveyed to him by the
Hoxne Rural District 352 Council on behalf of their medical officer
of health, that the disease of which Private Snowling, of the
2nd Norfolks, died at Fressingfield on the 29th June last, was
typhoid fever, and that he was suffering from it at the time of
his discharge from hospital at Aldershot, and considering that
two other persons contracted the disease from Private Snowling
at Fressingfield, he will cause further inquiry to be made into
the circumstances of his discharge, with the object of preventing,
in the interests of the public health, a repetition of similar
incidents.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) The hon.
Member has apparently been misinformed. Private Snowling was invalided
home for secondary syphilis, and was treated in hospital as a
convalescent for this disease until he left on sick furlough on
22nd May.
