dear old had sent us [illegible] wee piece of of christmas
pudding we had kept over for the occasion.
By the way, maman Alice's pudding was [illegible]
[illegible] far superior to the piece of pudding that was
given out as regimental issue on Boxing day
night. There will be a slight flare-up on
new years day (tomorrow) when small christmas
funds will be used to supply a few extras in
the way of roast beef, roast pork, vegetable
& puddings. We are looking forward to it,
for we never get a meal in the sense of the
word. And how did you spend the day? Quite
quietly of course. I was sorry that Sylvie was
made to be home that day, but lets hope
that next Xmas will see us all home & the
war at an end.
We have not had time to write to poor
uncle Louis, but I will do so as soon as I can,
We are so sorry to hear that Grandmaman is so sad.
It seems that she is much better off with you at
home than at Boulogne, under the present
circumstances. Can you not promise her that
should she die in England, that you will
have her burried in France?
Many thanks maman Alice, for the parcel with
the grand pudding & to you too, Syl, for your
welcome parcel & you too Dan for your which
contained many pleasant suprises. Please
thank dear old [Gerlie?] for her grand cake that
also went down well.
