[…. …… …..] Pending further transcription clarification
B.E. FORCE 6/2/17 My Dearest Father, The “ration tin” has filled up quicker than I expected so I sent it along herewith I am glad you find the little diary sufficiently interesting. Since last I wrote the weather instead of changing as I thought has become even colder. However, I have finished seventeen days in the trenches, jolly cold. Jolly cold they were too, and am now back in my billet at the convent for a week. Lena kindly asks in her letter if I want anything. A good rapid thaw would be most welcome, but apart from that I really have all I want hard as the weather is I enjoy it and certainly have nothing to complain about in the way of health and fitness |
