McNeill, John
July 17th 1916
I have already told you about the awful time we had with mud & water, & then this spring they moved us up to that hell hole Ypres (pronounced heaprees), before the war this was one of the finest cities in France, famous for its Historical buildings & beautiful streets & houses, now there is not one house left standing, everything is in desolation. It would break your heart to see all the towns & villages that have been laid in ruins, in some places there is hardly one brick left standing on another
