  Cherie, 

        This is really written in the 16 th but I have not

  had time to scribble you a line. For one thing I have 

  written the father of Cpl Hall who was killed in the charge. 

  This N.C.O. was court martialled in Stalfield for failing 

  to comply with an order and he took it very much to heart

  being reduced from the rank of Sergeant. His people 

  wanted to know whether he has been made Sergeant 

  again which he much hoped to be. I have tried to 

  console them by saying he would have been a Sergeant 

  now if he had lived. 

           I have alas had a letter from Garner-Smith's 

  father who is in America has only had cabled news.

  He wanted all particulars and I have written him a 

  long letter. 

           This is how it comes about that you have 

  had to go without me today.

           I can quite understand the Major being 

  furious at Marks' promotion. So am I. If I 

  had staid at home I should probably have got the 

  rank insted of Marks. It is perfectly scandalous. 

  However he will probably have to take it off when 

  the war is over as it is only temporary.

                 Many thanks too for the news of the 

  Memorial Service. I know Wheater looked older. 

  I think we all do -  except Cars who is unchanged.

  As a matter of fact I have written Wheater  but

  Cherie, 

        This is really written in the 16 th but I have not

  had time to scribble you a line.  one thing I have 

  written the father of Cpl Kall who was killed in the charge. 

  This N.C.O. was court martialled in Stalfield for failing 

  to comply with an order and he took it very much to heart

  being reduced from the rank of Sergeant. His people 

  wanted to know whether  he has been made Sergeant 

  again which he much hoped to be. I have tried to 

  console them by saying he would have been a Sergeant 

  now if he had lived. 

           I have alas had a letter from Garver Smiths 

  father who is in America has only had cabled news.

  He wanted all particulars and I have written him a 

  long letter. 

           This is how it comes about that you have 

  had to go without me today.

           I can quite understand the  being 

  furious at Warks' promotion. So am I. If I 

  had staid at home I should probably have got the 

  rank insted of Warks. It is perfectly scandalous. 

  However he will probably have to take it off when 

  the war is over as it is  temporary.

                 Many thanks too for the news of the
