Letters from Thomas Noonan to home from the front

  continually shelling, as they think some of our

  batteries are concealed on it. Of course we are

  pretty safe but it's nice to see the shells bursting

  all around. The other day we were having a

  game of cards when a shrapnel bullet came down

  within a couple of inches of my knee.
  
  Dear Mother you mentioned in your letter that

  if I wanted anything, you would send it to me.

  Well I would be very thankful for some cigarettes

  also a some notepaper and envelopes as both are

  very scarce here. 
  
  I have not any more news at present so I will

  conclude with best, love to all
  
  From your loving son
  
  Tom
  
  
  

  
  

  PS Address letters as usual. Also please send a pencil.
