he has been going any minute any day, for some time now; expect they will be bunged off like the authorities always do.
There are rumours being circulated that our division the 6th, ("Fragments from France") will be going in about three weeks; they look war like now for we have just had the limbers, cookers mess carts etc sent down from Tidworth.
They Brigade went for a 50 mile march this morning took rations & all cookers included, most of the men had their packs filled with straw, they wre the freshest looking its easy to tell the straw ones.

Your affectionate son
Rex
