Y.M.C.A. letterheadReply to No. 3324 Coy A Bat. 4th Stationed at Somewhere in EgyptDated 23/1/16My Dear Nell,This letter will be only half a letter as news now is restricted very much. Really all we can say, is, we are well. We have been shifted again. They wanted a few volunteers to leave next morning for a destiny unknown, so Arthur & I & a few of the boys got away. I am now back in the ranks & have to win the stripes back by merit & work done. All the N.C.O's have to revert to the ranks & start afresh when they come into the battalion. We are amongst the boys who did things now & hear of some great doings over yonder. Have met a great number of chaps from up the N.S. Line, Stan Bickell
