Get plenty of hard work here in the rain & snow.

The day after getting here we all had our boots taken & issued with big black boots which weigh 7 lbs & then they took us on a long route march, nearly every day we get one & we are all nearly crippled, even my feet are sore, & I can stand a lot & I have a limp.

The 21st Rfts. were in France when we got here & most of them are under the ground, our lot are next on the list & we are due to leave here on the 25th Jan.

The 23rd Rfts. have arrived, but as yet they have not marched into camp.

None of us have had a minutes leave & from what we hear we shall not see any more of England other than the train ride to Folkestone.
