We have just come out of the firing line this morning and will go in again in 48 hours time and as tomorrow is Sunday I shall have the opportunity of again attending mass –
Did you get my letter with few lines about one of our Transports. Torpedoed. It seems that the submarine discharged two torpedoes at us –
You will, I suppose, already know, from the papers of our loss. – Our Brigadier and about 33 others.
I hear them say that mail is to hand. I shall wait for the letter now, I'm sure of my letter from home.
Yes a letter from Dad – one from Jess and one from Bob. Your letter Dad is No. 8 and is dated July 27th.
Reference – "Local Chat" Isn't it funny – too funny – Do you know I have seen a great number of these alleged Of-----s since we have been here – They would almost make an Officers sorrowful.
