My dear Lassie,

         I am commencing this in a short

respite at Friday lunch time. Well-

great events since last I wrote you. First,

we had our bayonet fighting inspection

yesterday afternoon, + I understand the class

was passed as a whole. I was one of the

lucky ones who was not called out to do any

detailing + drilling. Then today we have

had our eventful first riding test, + owing

to the backwardness of 3 or 4 men in our ride,

the whole ride will be inspected by the 

Commandant (Lord Petersham not the Commandant

was there today) again on the 29th

Instant, as to whether we are going into 

"A" squadron or to be kept back but some 6
