batch any day now. This afternoon my

new tunic turned up & it is a good

fit & not heavy to wear. You might

send me out two pairs of those 

big trench socks. I think they will

easily last until the cold spell is 

over. I got an excellent pair of boots

from Ordnance & my feet ought to

keep dry until I get in up to my

knees. Supplies have been a little

difficult to get hold of but we have 

fared very well. Plenty of good food

helped out by what we were able to

bag from a Field Force Canteen.

  All the Officers are well & cheerful

but Walter seemed as if he had got

a chill this afternoon. The CO & the Adjuster

have gone up this afternoon & 

with his platoon. A platoon from B & D

have also gone along with the Company Second-

in commands. Knox has also gone up as

Intelligence Officer. I saw Blanchard this

afternoon & he seems quite happy.

  Kenneth would enjoy seeing all the 

horses & the motors if he were here but

I don't think Alice would like to push 

his pram along the roads?

  There is very little to do besides
