Dear Dad Mum & All

Still in Div. reserve with no immediate prospect of a move to trenches.

We are having a real jolly time – The billets we are in now are never even shelled – I have a glorious time now. General time table – Rise at 6.15 and go for a Swim in River Lys (Riverie de la Lys) – 7 am dress for breakfast at 7.30. 9.30 stroll on to parade and lecture for 1½ to 2 hrs – 12.30 lunch – 2.30 p.m. to 4 pm. Supervise practical work – Reconnaissance Sec. and Observers (Intelligence Section) – Dinner 6 pm

Saturday – half holiday Sunday – I march R.C.s to Church in town.

I can get a bicycle when ever I like, or a horse. To-day I rode horse to "Estaires" about 10 to 12 kilometres (6 to 7 miles) and spent the afternoon there.

Regtl. Officers have an awful amount of fatigue to do – Generally they are working all night.
