Just for fun I'm going to describe in detail how I looked when I came down the line - i.e. as regards dress. Both cuffs of my tunic were frayed end ragged, The left sleeve had a big piece torn out at the elbow, ebout four inches wide and a foot long.
The right one had a smaller hole, and also one in front, besides being nearly separated at the shoulder. The collar wee just about black from sweat and. dirt. Puttees were a minus quantity. They disappeared in the mud a month ago. Since then send bags have taken their place. The seat of my pants were rather draughty to say the least, and I ceri't say that I was troubled by them bagging at the knees, for with a rip in each knee there was plenty of room for freedom of action. As for my shoes, well it was fortunate that the mud dried up, for I was just about walking on my socks. Oh, I was some lovely looking object all right, kid, but I didn't worry any. A fellow gets usedto such little things after a while.
I am endosinganother photo of our Y reunion in case the other one went astray. And by the way talking of photos, I haven't received those I asked for some little time ago. Ship 'em along, will yuh?
I put 8n application in today for leave to Paris for ten days Quite a few of the boys have been there already, and while it may be several months yet, think there is an excellent chance of us making the grade. Nothing like trying, anyway.
