Dear Mother

bad weather, long hikes, and trip
over the top occasionally, you never
hear a fellow complain. Our health
is good, and the morale of the boys
is fine. We all go around whistling
and singing and always manage to
create a little fun.
There is no use OF me telling you
what we are doing to the Boche, as
you see it in the daily papers, al
though they don't tell it all. l

"At present | am acting First Ser
