Captain/Major Harold Ward Correspondence, item 186

• December 13, 2018 00:08:27 Thomas A. Lingner

  Dressing did not take very long - the

  operation only consisted of throwing 

  off a blanket. After breakfast I

  indulged in the luxury of a wash

  & shave about a pint of water being

  available. It was 48 hrs. since I had

  washed so I felt much refreshed.

  I have passed the day in the woods

  sitting in the shade & reading a 

  novel. A light novel by Curtis Yorke

  "That Little Girl" advertised as a 

  change from the war strain. I had

  to retire to shelter for a time as the

  Boche was putting a few "fire ..."

  just far enough away to keep things

  pleasant. I am writing now

  in an "arm chair" (made of soil

  the middle of some bushes. The 

  is very comfy & has a good back

  though I couldn't get any springs.
