Just got your P.c Syl glad you
will come, hope to see Papa too
[1 word]with Nov. 5/6 1915
Dear Maurice & Maggie & family
I hope this will be my last letter on this side, --
there is every reason to suppose we will be leaving in
a few days. Thank the Lord!!
I hope now that it will be Serbia because the
campaign there will be far more exciting, tho much harder
in some ways than on the French Front. But the
fighting in France is trench-warfare which is often
enough to drive men hug-house through the fearful
stationariness of it coupled with the cold & wet &
dreadful [1 word]. So we are pleased its Serbia.
What a difference real warfare will be to all this
last twelve month's tedious tranining. We shall at
last feel we are doing something really worthy &
worthwhile & it will be a satisfaction & compensation
for what we will have to go through.
I have sufficient imagination to know that it
will be "tough" & that we will often find it almost
unendurable, but every one likes to faces his task
the soonest possible & naturally we are dead
anxious to start in.
We may get a 40 hours leave before we go. I
hope so, for it will be the last time for a very long
while before we will have a chance to go home
