  Fri Jan 22 , 1915

  Friday once again how the weeks are skipping

  along it only seems a few weeks since we

  left Southampton. The Same old routine again

  to day. Battalion Drill before Breakfast &

  company Drill after Breakfast finished about

  1 0-clock for the day. This was not so very

  bad, but of corse this does not happen

  every day we only wish It would.

  we have just heard the news that there

  has been a Zeppelin raid in England

  which has wrecked a portion of King’s

  Lynn, but we get so little news here

  that we don’t know when to believe

  anything we here. Hope this news is not

  current as we are all waiting here for

  the welcome news that the War is over

  or that we are going to see our share of

  the excitement at the Front. Just heard

  the news also that the party of 400 Gurkhas

  which left here on the 15th of January has

  been practically cut up in the China Chang
