I have a very superior set of fellows with me: they are picked men from the Battn. One chap made a mistake and was crimed: the others would not have anything to do with him then, for they reckoned that he hadn't played the game by me. I made him report back to his Company –

I told you in my last letter that our C.O had been evacuated – he has been recommended two month sick leave – and is now in England. Major Fetthers, late 2nd in Command 24th Bn then Brigade Intelligence Officer, has today taken over the ropes of this Bn. He is a very smart and capable Officer.

Strange how so many chaps of Battns you hardly ever see get to know of a little thing like my "Mention" Captn. James, 8th Bn Ballarat Chap (left as 2nd Lt. in Reinf.) spoke to me about it to-day. I am getting on admirably with French. A little girl in an Estaminet next door teaches me.

Oh you will be pleased to know that, I have invented a ruse for use against the Germans.
