Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France during the Battle of the Somme, 'Sept 19 1916'
It was extraordinarily quiet with hardly a gun firing. It had been raining and he was afraid the bad weather had stopped their push. All the land they had established was no better thana bog and very slippery. Much worse than on July 1st. There wasn’t a square inch for 2000 yards unaffected by shell fire and not a blade of grass to be seen.
Comments on the account of her journey in her letter.
The Major of another battery had been a guest at dinner. He was thrilled to hear it was [Austin] Earl’s battery and hoped to see him today.
Planned to write to his tailor and order a new pair of breeches and a tunic.
[Postscript] – had received her letters and photos of Clare which he liked very much.
