Item 01: Letters to Jack McGrath from William McGrath, 3 January 1915-27 January 1917 - Page 33

[Page 33]

I am going to a Cavalry School for a course on Monday. Its quite a new thing & at present only meant for senior officers. I feel quite favored at being sent along & you can bet I'm a trier. Will let you know how I get on. Its' at Cairo.

We are still miles out in the desert so of course it will be quite a good change too. The square head is getting it hot now. Next summer will see it all over. The smaller fry will peter out & then we'll get the Kaiser's push. Its just a case of time tells only the push hurts the longer it goes. Jacko has left this country pretty well but he'll still be a nuisance for some time. They'll all go though before this time next year.

Well old boss more in a week or so. I may cable or I may post the fiver. Hope it comes in time for Xmas.

Fondest love to you & Clare & the kidlets & all the tribes. Will see you after the war alright. Tooraloo

Yours ever lovingly
Bill

Got a letter from T.A.N.K. in France. He's alright.
