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.
