Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France during the Battle of the Somme, 'Sept 12 1916'
Was sorry she was finding life dull. Thought Aldebrough would have been more exciting if he had been with them.
It was a quiet soft September day but he thought the lull was ominous. Had a desperate time getting provisions for the canteen in Corbie. Had written a long letter to Robert Graves. Describes fellow officers Dunbar and Carey.
Had bought a mouse trap and a rat trap for his dug out which was successful and had lent them to the Officer’s cook house and six rats had been caught in an hour. Had asked Lithgow to send to Corbie for more traps for the men to use in their dugouts as they had suffered with them crawling over them and eating their clothes. They were also suffering from lice.
Was sorry she was feeling depressed. Was looking forward to a time when they could meet. Thought he would look younger to her.
