Jan 1st 1917 Somewhere in France

Dear Dad Mum & All.

Since writing to you this afternoon I have moved much closer "business". To morrow night, "business", fortunately very easy this trip.

2.1.17 Had to cease my writing suddenly to fix up a little job.

I am "at business" now – I fancy things are going to be very simple this term. I have just received two letters from you, Dad, Nos 58 and 59.

By jove I agree with you Dad about Australia and result of referendum. I feel myself that I could say – "To hell with Australia."

We had no division ad Eaucourt as you believed.

You mention two brothers Ptes F and W. Brown – mentioned in Bn. Routine Orders. I knew the lads well, they were fine chaps –

Re your 59. The "Mention" is not a bad one is it. Thats two.
