Letters from Eric Susman in the Middle East war zone to Dr. M. P. Susman, 1914-1916 - Page 31

[Page 31]

No news of interest, just the same old training principles which have found to be absolutely up to shit in a war like this. Brigade & Divisional manoeuvres, a little Musketry, and a little night work. It is all for the benefit of our reinforcements – the dinkums or the "comforts fund soldiers" as we call them.

Am writing to Mum & to H.T. this week. Have received my Sheepskin, also another bonza parcel from the Stores. So long for the present.

Ever your affectionate
Eric.
