  • I am writing to tell you that I am keeping well and am feeling very much better to-day. I have only one Officer left in my Company. One left last night with shell-shock. I do not wonder at it seeing what we have to put up with. I expect to be on leave in a months time and am looking forward to seeing you all---- To-morrow we go into our final big attack. Do not worry if you don't hear for a day or two from me, I shall not have very much opportunity of writing to you for a bit. (en)
  • There is very little to say about this big show except the Artillery is awful and the flies are worse, whilst conditions of living are worse still. All the same we are exceptionally cheerful. We bear everything I hope like good soldiers proud to have beaten thoroughly the reputed "Invincible German Army". The men are absolutely wonderful. My Company are in the best of spirits I think you might send out 1000 Woodbines for them. Well I think I have given you some idea of what it is like out here. Men live and die like heroes and face with the greatest of courage that which no men ought to be called upon to face, I can say no more. (en)
