Bear Wood, Nottingham Berks,
Sept. Is, 1918.
Dear Sister,
t"tJust few lines to let you know
I am getting on quite we'll. I am
going up to London tomorrow for
an X-ray as I still have piece of
shell in my head but don't know
when they will operate on me. But
any way this suits me fine. I can
stand all kinds of this kind of pun
ishment as I am able to be around
and feeling not too bad. And be-
lieve me it's mighty fine treat to
be away from France. I don't want
to see no more of that No person
can realize what it is like out there
and the hardships one has to endure.
But 1 never felt better in my life.
I weigh more than ever I did. I
guess it is the climate because it
surely is not what I eat. I often
wonder how ever I got through the
last battle as there were just simply
a rain storm of bullets and shells
and we were walking over dead
bodies and wounded men and could
not stop to help them.
ct have not had any mail for ever
so long on account of moving around
so much. Things are looking bright
at present and it may wind UP pretty
soon. Wouldn't it be a glorious old
day! It is hard to imagine the
misery and hardships we went
through out there. If you had only
had some of the rain we are having
it would be better for all of us as
it rains every day and it is awful
cool. 1t just seems as tho I cannot
keep warm. I would not live in this
country for any thing. I feel the
cold much worse now than I did in
France last winter. France has a
very fine climate. I would like to
live out there in peace time but be-
lieve me it's no home just at present.
But at any rate things are going
just fine now and everybody seems
to think it won't last much longer
and they can thank the States. They
sure saved us from watery grave
and it is fully admitted. will
close now. Write soon.
"From Your Brother,
David Barry"
