Dear Bob,
I received your welcome letter and P. C. alright.
I don't know how to thank you for your kindness, but thank
you all from the bottom of my heart, and hope you all had a Merry
Xmas, and will have a Happy New Year. I started to write you
on Sunday last, but had only written a few lines when we received
the order to get ready to move off back to the Firing Line, but
I will start from the first day I received your letter.
We were billeted in a village Outterstune (Outtersteene), about 9
miles from Hazebrock (Hazebrouck), and about 20 miles South of Ypres. It is
a small village in France. We have billeted there for a month,
and all the First Division had made up to full strength. We had
two Terriers attached to our Ambulance, and a Terrier Regiment
attached to our Brigade - the 6th Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Well,
when we were in Outterstune, we had a chance of getting a pint of
French beer - not near so good as the beer at home, but a change
from the Firing Line where you cannot get any. I received your
letter on Saturday afternoon the 18th, and there were another 11
Men in the room along with us. We decided to spend our Christmas
that night and a good job we did, for we moved off the next night.
We had what you would call a 'Night-Out'. One chap happened to
have a cake and some biscuits. Everyone in the room had a good
time. We had singing, and everyone said it was the best day
or rather night we have since we came out here. They all said
it was a most sensible present, but had it been a day later in
coming, we could not have spent it. Some of the men were so
thankful that they asked for your address, as they say they are
going to write and thank you.. They wish me to tell you that
they would like to thank Kingston Ambulance Boys for the
treat they gave them. We had a splendid night, and went back
to the Firing Line next night like children, we were all so happy

Certains noms de lieu sont mal orthographiés. Est-il possible – comme je l’ai fait dans le texte transcrit – de les écrire en français à côté et entre parenthèses pour que les futurs lecteurs retrouvent ces lieux de mémoire ?
