After a very quiet night we receive a little mail & I get Richies letter dated June 18th glad to hear all well
We are getting very sick of it all.
The mens health is breaking down under the constant strain & hard work 'C' company's Sick list averages about 10 men to Hospital each day.
Later Receive Mum's Letter but we are not able to answer them from here. At 2 pm a man in my trench got his head nearly blown off by an explosive Bullet.
