district as the lights are nearly all out owing to Zeps, & you have to "watch out" for the traffic. One of our men was killed here the other night – he was a scotch man but had been 2 years in Australia. He had been married 3 weeks when he got killed. I was one of the men picked out for the firing party & about 1500 of the men went to the funeral. We had a large band & massed bugles blew the last post after we fired 3 volleys over the grave. Ask Papa to get me a ticket in "Tatts" now & again will you when there is any of my money over after paying my insurance. I wrote to him asking if he would write I was in Malta but don't know whether he got the letter. Hoping you are all quite ok with love to all
from your affectionate Brother
