that is seems a long time since I left but I tell you it seems years to me I got a good bit of while cotton planted in me my hair now which I never had in dear old N.S.W. but never mind we shall have our revenge for all the dear old boys that are under the sod all round our dug outs. I am sitting with a bit of a light all alone in my little old dugout writing these few lines & the roar of the big guns is terrific & the small ones too.

my dear old rifle is my only friend here. Well dear Grace I will bring this short note to a finish but remember me to all your people & don't forget Knowles when you write to them with all love & good wishes to dear little Mavis Ted & yourself from your loving Brother Charles
