Letter from Brigadier Bernard Freyberg [29th Division] from France to WSC, describing events on Armistice Day on the Western Front. Freyberg explains how he decided to raid German forces with his cavalry and [motor-]cyclists for one last time a few hours before peace was declared, and describes how his forces took the village of Lessines [Belgium], capturing several machine-guns, four German officers and 102 soldiers of other ranks, at 10.58 a.m. Freyberg then asks WSC for his advice on what to do with his life after peace is signed, and once he had led his brigade into Germany: he particularly asks about the merits of Russia, Mesopotamia [later Iraq] and East Africa. Manuscript in pencil, with annotation noting that WSC acknowledged the letter, thanking Freyberg and saying that he hoped to see him soon.
