GALLIPOLI,
3rd September 1915.

My dear Mother.

Just a few lines to say that we have been over here for about a fortnight and am thankful to say that I am still whole, in fact none of the Section have been wounded yet. We have all of course, had some pretty narrow escapes, but a miss here is as good as a mile. Where we are now, we are pretty safe, in fact practically the only danger is from Snipers, and you May be sure, we don't give them much of a show.

You of course understand that we are not allowed to say anything that might be interesting.

Arthur Adams is camped very close to us and also several other chaps I know well. Major Martin is also near here, but have not seen him yet.

The flies here are simply awful, and it is a work of art to get some food to your mouth without half a dozen of them on it. There are also some other of the insect tribes.

The food here is pretty good, in fact better than I expected; that is of course under the circumstances.

I am sorry to say that is about the extent of the news I am allowed to say anything about, except of course I am well. Address as usual to Egypt.

Harry wishes to be remembered to you all.

With love from
Your Loving Son
Roy.

Up to the time I left Egypt I had received your first letter and two from Ruby.
