Tanks, it was evident that they had made

a very gallant attack, and standing there

myself, I could picture the scene in the

mist of that momentous morning of the

27th September. They had done their

work well, and enabled our infantry to

chase the German out of his trenches.

    Well mother, i fear this story will

sadden you once again, but I think also

that you will be pleased too that I have

been able to make this visit and see

the actual place. I know I felt pleased

and satisfied myself. Angus is spleeping

there peacefully beside his chums. I

will be able to answer all your questions

when I come home, and will have many

interesting things to tell you about the

war in this country. I noted the numbers

on the various tanks, & I am writing to

Bella to ask if she knows which one

Angus was in.  Perhaps I may go
