Nevertheless, as I said, it is infinitely better than the dreadful mud.
We see little of the French soldiers. We are on a front of our own, part of the British sector, and so are never brought in contact with them. There's lots to interest one in the villages, but we are usually so busily employed that we have little time for exploring.

Yours very sincerely
Dene B. Fry
