You see we stay so long in the front line trench, so many days in the next line trench. so many days in the next line and so on, until the whole regiment has been in them. and then we go to a rest camp and get our furlough.

This morning two small pieces of bread with a little jam on it and a cup of coffee. A beef stew for dinner with gut any beef.

I don't see how ever a man could live in No Mans Land just then and the best part of it was we didn't lose man and only one was wounded. I was ouU in No Mans Land twice the first night as a. guard for the working party that filled up an old trench that the Boche had come up the night before I had two bombs and my old Springfield rifle and was prepared for the Boche if he came along.
 The next night I was in the working party. We worked out there from, 9 | o'clock until F and after that went | to bed and slept till when they l woke me. and went on guard on the automatic rifle which. is something 1 like machine gun, where I Stayed | till o'clock in the morning. It is hard work on the eyes looking out in l to No Mans Land You can imagine there are a hundred Germans out there and when the good old sun comes up you find it was only the posts that hold tNe barb wire up, but | after you have looked about so long | at them they all seem to jump up and down.
