A small copy of the New Testament, with the inscription, “George M Sladden from his mother, 5th November 1914”.
In a letter of 11th November 1914, soon after moving to Watford, George wrote: “It was very nice to receive the little Testament you sent me and it now lies very neatly in the breast pocket of my tunic where I can easily carry it all times, and I shall be glad to have your gift always with me.”
