Letter to Ruth Mallory written from Newcastle
Was sorry she wouldn't have seen anything of Avie and was glad she had been to St John's Vicarage [his parent's home].
Was delighted by events in the Balkans and in Palestine. The defeat of Bulgaria was more important as it would involve the railway to Constantinople. The American advance of 11 kilometres sounded like a good start. Someone had told him the war would be over within 3 weeks but even in a dream he couldn't swallow that optimism.
Describes a series of games he organised for the men on the beach which including nude swimming race, a three legged race and steeplechase.
