Dear Maurice & Maggie & family
We got back yesterday from a 3 day field
manoeuvre & were cheated out of our saturday
afternoon by coming home at 5, O'clock instead
of 1,O,clock as usual. On the whole we've
had a hard week hardly a minute to ourselves
in short "pas mal tough" (as the french - Canadians
would say). I was unable to get off a
satisfactory letter to you Syl, which I sent
via home on wednesday, because I had
to cut it short at the last minute, so I
shall start in writing right away so as not
to let the weekend go by without getting
a letter off home, tho as a matter <sup>fact</sup> I feel
fairly tired after our late exertions & could
readily roll into my blankets like nearly
every man-jack has done this evening on
account of the week's work.
We started out on wednesday morning
with full pack & did a heavy day's march,
not more than 2 thirds of the battalion was
out for the Monday - Tuesday manoeuvres
