1) 22nd December 1933 P.R.I. Depot, Somerset L.I., The Barracks, Taunton - I
have known C.Q.M.S. Blacker, the Somerset Light Infantry for the last
seventeen years. I have always found him thoroughly honest, reliable,
hardworking, sober and loyal. He has a very pleasant, and cheerful
disposition, and has good manners. As a Company Quarter Master Sergeant he
has had considerable experience in the keeping of accounts, and stores. I
have known Blacker in many capacities as a soldier, and he has always proved
himself most loyal and honest. I have great pleasure in recommending him for
any position of trust or similar appointment, and I shall be pleased to
answer any questions as to his moral character, and abilities. L. W. Harper,
Captain, The Somerset Light Infantry 12:12:33 Taunton
2) The Barracks, Taunton - I have known C.Q.M.S. A. Blacker for the past 20
years and know him to be absolutely honest, clean and sober. He is most
willing, hardworking, and reliable, is of cheerful disposition and possesses
good manners. I have every reason to believe his moral character to be of
the highest and have no hesitation in recommending his for any employment
requiring a clear minded hard working man. I am prepared to answer any
questions which may be addressed to me concerning this mans character etc.
