Scope and content
Letter to Ruth Mallory written from Avington Park Camp, Winchester. Undated apart from 'Tuesday'
His name had appeared in the London Gazette together with that of Earl, Bliss, Courtney, Thomson and Strain and some others of the Weymouth course. They were all to have 2nd pips [ie made Lieutenants].
Had an oily job in the afternoon taking down the buffer of our guns which was quite interesting.
Had written a long letter to his mother chiefly about the babies name. He wanted to work in Beridge if they could.
