Dear Chris,
I have to thank you again for your
cheery letter which arrived today - the weekly
chat from the Crescent. It is just as if I
gave you a call each Sunday to hear the
doings of the previous seven days. The
"Weekly Scotsman" was also up to time on
Thursday, and I must thank you too for
the "Windsor Magazine" which came today -
a welcome addition to our small store of literature.
The "Windsor" used to be one of my favorite
magazines. (Did you know?)
Well Chris, I was pleased to know you
were well and standing the winter all right.
You must be quite hardy when you can
venture out snow-droppin' to Colinton in
mid-winter. I see you've had a cold snap
at home, just like ours. For nearly three
weeks we had it hard and dry - ideal
... Right side
winter conditions, and very bracing. Two days
ago the thaw came, and some rain yesterday and
today washed the white mantle completely
away. The frost has been very beneficial
in breaking up and loosening the soil. I
experienced the softness of it today in a
long walk I made - out to Flesquieres
again. Sunday being my day free of
duty, I just made up my mind this
morning to go out again and try and find
that Tank which Angus was in. I didn't
find it, though. Rendell said it was No.
Q54 or Q56, but examined every derelict
tank in the neighbourhood, and they were all
of the "D" and "E" Class. However, I was
quite satisfied with my visit, as I took time
to go over the whole of the battlefield on
Flesquieres ridge. My word, but the Germans
were strongly entrenched - dug-outs and trenches,
and big holes as traps for our tanks. But
it seems that ours was a very gallant and
successful assault, crumpling up the enemy's
