Dear Dad,

Not much time to write worst place yet. Got a letter from Scottie. I was telling you about he made blighty alright. Got box 28 without a no. Had closer scrapes here than I ever had all the time I've been over here. A shell hit between me and the lead team the other day. All the pictures I ever saw have nothing on this place. Cecil and Dan Wilson & I are in a little dugout at present. I haven't seen Roy for a week or more. Don't expect any long letters from me for a while as I haven't time for it Dad.
