If we have any luck Pat and I may bump into one another; what artillery lot does he belong to? Is he selling his cycle? McKnight, I know him well, he was in the sixth reinforcements with me; he worked his head though to get back. After the Pine, a corporal asked him could he use a mad mick and a banjo, "he said he could play a piano, a pick and shovel would make his hands blister". Fancy finding your old kit bag; it was marvellous that everything was intact. Your mate in the 13th is telling the truth about France, it is a snifter place; beer only a penny a glass too; wines are dearer though, for they are two pence. That crowd in the Dom must have been a funny affair, it served them right. Joss and I keep up a good mail between ourselves; Hetty too; she writes every mail nearly, and sends cigarettes; she writes and send fags to Rod also.
