My dear Florrie

Just a couple of lines.  I have been on a world famous battlefield all morning going up again this afternoon & again tonight.

The scenes are awful, dead Fritzies & English all over the place, aeroplanes, Tanks, horses etc. a scene of absolute terror.

The articles enclosed in separate envelope were picked up close to a machine gun emplacement in which lay dead germans, here & there were boots with the legs still in them, awful - you can talk of the glories of war its darned rot.

Au revoir      
Malcolm
