  Looked magnificent. We then had to

  March Back & Had Dinner about 1-o-clock

  having been 7 ½ hours without Food or

  drink under a Blazing sun.

   

  Dec 16 1914

  To Day for a change we started to

  Work after cleaning everything we went

  on Parade at 7-o-clock Had 1 hour

  Drill Then came back to Breakfast of

  Dry Bread & Tea went out & did

  another 8 Hours Drill so we are not

  hard worked when you think you have

  about 40 lb on your back besides a

  9 ½ lb Rifle in your Hands. Just heard

  That the first batch of letters are to

  be Delivered on Friday the 18th

  everybody is very excited & counting hours

  Many letters they are going to get I

  expect about a Dozen.
