Scope and content
Is surprised they have not received letters or postcards. Has rejoined the Queen's. Is back in billets where it quiet. Fighting has been terrific. Some terrible sights around captured German trenches. Lots of officers killed and most of men wounded. Germans had plenty of food in trenches. Stench in German trenches appalling. Rains washed out graves. Found ammunition with bullets reversed. Germans well clothed and equipped. Glad to be away from pounding of guns.
