* Greetings for the new year (1918) written by Major General John Hill, commander of the 52nd infantry division, to its officers and its soldiers. Hill summarizes the year 1917, the fourth year of the war, a great year for the Allies in Europe, and a greater year for the British in every part of the world, and the greatest year for the 52nd Division (Lowland).
"You have never failed me, you went from trench warfare to open warfare, and again to hill warfare. Always cheerful, always victorious, no matter how difficult the operation." Hill continues, noting the Auja (Yarkon) crossing, pointing out that this was the hardest operation he called upon them to carry out, the difficulties were enormous. He proudly points out the dash and determination of his Scottish fighters. Beyond the infantry, he also notes the artillery corps, the divisional train (logistics), the Lowland ambulances, and the signal company (communications). He concludes the letter with a call to the soldiers to guard their honor not only in battle, but also during rest and recreation, and pleads with them to not become drunk and to maintain discipline.
