Oct 20 and I was very glad to hear from you. I am glad you liked the snaps I sent you and I will send you a picture of me or a photo perhaps I should say. I had them taken while in London. I haven't got the proofs yet, but I expect to get them within a few days.

Well Austie the war is over at last and we will soon be home again, there is a lot of excitement in the battalion over what is to become of us here.

It was very vague, in fact the colonel said he could not quite get the drift of it. Personally I dont care whether I get a commission or not as long as they let me get the hell out of here. Want to go home.
