Letters

Private J C Armstrong writes : 

Many thanks for your paper, which I thankfully received all right, but I hope you will excuse me for not writing before now, as we have had a long spell in the trenches this Xmas. I have not been able to write until now. I think we have been rather unlucky, as we were in the trenches both for Xmas and New Year, so you will see that we have not had such a pleasant time. We had a few tunes, though, I am sorry to say, they were not Christmas songs. They were played by shells from both sides.
