Yes I can understand it – "Our boys will soon be in Constantinople" It's a long long way to Tipp Constantinople No farther now than the day they landed – We could easily get to the beach for a Swim.
I have ommitted to number my letters – of late, and so have lost count – so shall make a fresh start. I have already sent two, Service Post Cards since landing in Gallipoli so that this letter will be numbered 3 –
Writing home on one occassion I told you not to send any Socks etc. Well had I made arrangements in Cairo I could have had a regular supply of any such things I needed I couldn't foretell how things would be, and now I can see no way of getting money over to Egypt to have anything sent to me –
I think that we can overcome the difficulty though.
I shall write to a firm I know of in Cairo for anything I may want – (other Coy. officers are in the same boat) and it will be debited to my a/c at the Base pay Office.
By the way, £15 (clothing allowance)
