the blighted hopes that lie buried there

with those gloriously brave victims

of the curse of war?

    Now I think the photo of our

"military trio" in this picture is much 

better. You all look live and alert

here, as though the thought of those

British heroes, quietly sleeping after

doing their noble "bit", had crept into

your very blood, and, forgetting all the

disapppointment and heart weariness,

you remembered only that they and

you are sons of one Motherland.

    I may send you some lines on

the photos about Easter; in the mean-

time, many thanks for the cards. I

was very glad that your friend was 

able to find his dear brother's grave,

and it was good of him to be so

determined to do all in his power

in the matter, for I am sure it must

be a great comfort to his people . . . ."
