You know there is no such person as

sent to the Verdun front in reserve
but don't know as we will do much
here as it is quiet.

pretty hard so that it rafned through
our pup tent. Three Of us fellows
sleep in one tent, so we manage to
keep warm. Today the sun is shining
again.

have no newspapers here. In fact
haven't seen a paper for months so
7 don't know whether or not there
are any prospects of peace. When /
get back, if I ever do get back alive.
I'll have enough to tell you and it will
last a long, long while. T am well

I have had some close calls but
