surprising how soon you are forgotten
when you once get away. Was asked
to day if any one would volunteer to
leave here at once & go straight to
the front, I don’t know what to
do must have time to consider.
went to bed Greatly Disappointed.
recieved our First Pay in India &
find that after being so very brave
& patriotic we were just ½ per

were in England besides being
starved here & forgotten by all at home
wish we had gone to the Front in the

A very wet & stormy day & when it rains here
it doesn’t properly. Had a Lecture during the
morning. Another batch of Letters arrived but of
course none for me. Went into Maymyo
