P.S. I think I told Mother this but I will tell you to make sure. Lieut. J Leask is going by the next hospital boat (when ever that is) and he lives in Boyle Street Mosman in a house call "Leacholme" just at the foot of Spofforth Street. Jim is a jolly fine chap and a great soldier. I was at Fort St with him, also at that Rural camp. He taught me signalling over here and I worked with him for some time till he got his commission in the 11th Regt. He was badly wounded but says he is coming back here again anyhow I hope you will get a chance to see him. You'll like him awfully much. His brother was killed in France about 2 years ago. I think I have often sent you photos of Jim before he got his commission, so you will know him when you see him (perhaps).
