In letter received September 4th
from Lieut.. p. Spencer Marshall Of
Birmingham, England, who with his
father spent some six weeks in Dorset
few years ago, is the following:
August Sth. was on leave a week
or so ago, and very glad was to see
old England again. During my jour
ney there and back saw many Of
your troops, and fine lot Of fellows
they seemed. / have no doubt their
fighting qualities will prove to be as
satisfactory as their appearance. l
got slightly wounded yesterday; but
not seriously enough to cause me to
leave the battery" Lieutenant Mar
shall has been for months with the
Royal Artillery on the firing line d.
recting the cannonading from an OBJ
servation tower without receiving any
thing more serious than promotion,
and bad time from the effects of
German gas fire.
