Transcript

[Centre:] II [Upper right annotation:] 3 would stretch over 2,250 miles of road! nearly from Quebec to Rife! It goes home to ones imagination that way, does'nt it? Well, as I said, as private we dont know much about what's going on, & at least not any more than the section of the fighting that we re actually engaged in. Only on one or two rare occasions have we been in such a position to be able to see any extensive operations going on, it is an interesting sight when you can. So the privates lot is not a complicated one, he has only 3 things to do - obey order, use his common sense where no orders can be given, & endure. On the whole we have very intelligent officers in our battalion & I think it is general throughout the division (tho I'm sure, without predudice, we are the best battalion in it <del>)</del> as far as Infantry is concerned) But in spite of this one sees many blunders & a good deal of confusion going on at times which seems to prove that some how we dont seem to have the genius for military operations, at least not like certain other nations, like France & Germany.
