  luck on Sgt. Jackson. He was taking Mendel

  away on a stretcher after he had been wounded

  & lost direction on the way back. They got

  to a village thinking it was where our

  Aid Post was but had gone too far south.

  The Bearers put the stretcher down & went 

  into a shed with Jackson to find shelter

  for Mendel. A shell came killed

  Jackson wounded the two bearers &

  left Mendel with only his guide.

  Fortunately they all got back safely.

  I like Kenneth's letter very much & 

  hope he will write again soon.

  There doesn't seem much news in this

  letter Darling, but the thing I really

  want it to contain is the fact that

  I love you very very dearly. It will be

  just lovely to get back to England to

  live with you. - To be your boy again

  in reality - to kiss you & fold you

  in my arms so that you can

  feel that I love you. My thoughts
