after a week or two the weather will be
quite warm though at present there is
quite a "nip in the air." The guns are
making pretty music & there is evidently
no lack of ammunition. We have no orders
to move yet. Some of the others arrived in
this area today & I believe the others
will come soon. It is a month since Hall
came out & he is keeping fit & well. The CO
is A1. The padre has recovered & in fact we
are all well & happy. I wrote a letter to you
this morning & also one from the rest camp.
We dine to-night at 7:45 pm and look like
having a good feed. I have not been hungry
yet but those two cakes &c came in very
useful as did also the tea tablets. My
French is very bad but many words &
phrases have come back & I shall soon
be able to manage easily if we do not
have too long spells without being
obliged to talk French. This part of the
country is very different from the France I
was in in 1909. (A commotion was just
caused outside here by the rats catching
a chicken - nearly as bad as a fox at
Langwith). To-day we have had a pay
day and all kinds of inspections. The
men have been writing letters & as Johnson
was censoring he came across this passage
"we have had two days hard marching & now
my feet are as tender as your lips" That
was to his sweetheart & I expect she will
be real pleased at the compliment. The CO's
