Nov. 26. 1916
Hello Jack __
H0w's the world going with you.
This is Bundsy and there is not much
_loihx on. there was Church psrs.<l6_`
st 8.80 this morning. W& lot back to
our uusr-ten aboutlten d_ have been
losfing ever since. Billy is sittgg' by
me as I am writing. He is rea ins s
If-017 in the ‘magazine called "cup-
board love." .I d`oi\’t know if hs has
fallen in love with some English girl ‘
gr not. It_s‘eeins¢_strange -for him to
e reading such a story at any rate.
sé
E
1 suppose he has given you a woni
_or so o a description of this place so
there is no need for me to do that.We
had some 'fun Saturday. We were
"dillilll-in" as they call it. _The deep-
est part of the "dugout" is' where the
gun-crew is when not in action. It is
about two feet of logs and three feet
of earth all over it. Experts claim
that it will stop any shrapnel or piece-
about three feet wide-runs from that
to where the cartridges are stored.
another trench about ilve or perhaps
six feet wide runs to where the gun
ls. On the other side of the gun plat-
form is a trench running to a dugout
where the shdlls are stored`. You see
the shell and the cartridge are to dif-
ferent pieces and aren’t stored toge-
ther. We only” dig once or twice a
‘ week. Our orders for next week are:
one day digging, one day route march,
two days on twelve and sixteen
pounders, one day on the ilve-inch
liowltzers and one day on the siix inch-
ers. Wlill have to march about seven
mile to drill ou the six-inchers, then
have the- seven mile march back. l
don’t think there is any fear of us
taking lrsdigeiitloln through lack of
exercise. Of course a fellow gets hard-
ened' up to it; l know if I had to stars
out and carry what we have carried
|for eight or ten mile, when I was
home. there would have been a real
- earthquake _Aon little P. E. Isle. I
marched from Aldershot up here in
one hour and ten minutes, and believe
me lt's nearer six miles than it is ilve
Believe me, Jack I felt like sitting
down when we got here. We had just
finished 26 days in quarantine and it
p a s orrow
when we get on the guns as most of us
haven't laid' eyes on one silnce we
left Charlottetown. There are rumors
about that we are going to Lydd some
time near Xmas. That :is where we do
the real gun-drill firing and all. I also
heard that it is supposed we will be
lit for action sometime near the 15th
of March. Then it will be France for
the old "H Flfth." _
EPP?
'i‘liere's not a. darn thing in the
camp but artillery. The Halifax and
McGill batteries are both here; allso
some English s.rtillery_ I don’t know
wheratbe St. John battery is. i don’t
know if lit is here in England' or not.
. ‘I am waiting till we get to Lydd. that
is _'where _we’ll have the tinie--firing.
I have a 'notion to take up gun-lay-
lng. I don’t know lf l'd be able to qual-
ify or not at any rate it would' do no
harm. i‘li see later at any rate. One'
or two of the boys are thinking about
