  Still it is hardly a health resort

  and I should like to get a little farther

  back again to get a chance of 

  reorganizing. Also my present clothes

  have been in continuous use quite

  long enough & although my feet are

  in excellent form it would be a 

  pleasant change to sleep without

  boots on. A curious thing happened

  last night. A shell burst near

  us - blew some rubbish &c. into our 

  cellar chimney ? and along with it a 

  live sparrow, which flew round

  & round until I caught it & put

  it outside again. All the officers

  are keeping fit. Walker has not joined

  us yet - must be having a long rest.

  I was sorry that Bert Bryant was 

  killed in a show the other night. He

  was not with us of course but I heard

  that he was doing very well indeed.

  We got a newspaper of the 10th last night
