Also had a letter from Frank Crompton, He is still up around Liverpool, and on account of a had knee will doubtless he there for duration, 'Member A,J.Brsce who used to he Y secretary? Well he is over here now as a Capt, in a Chinese Labor Belial ion, so Frank informs me,. Would verymuch like to run across him, Ernie Crompton expects to he sent across here shortly on Y work.

Thanks very much for that picture you enclosed in your last. Really I had to look twice to ^convince myself that it was I in the picture. Believe me, you'll he surprised to see how much Harold has grown. After seeing that picture I realize myself just how much he has filled out.
Supper time, so I'm going to cell this an afternoons work. Hope you received those parcels I mailed you from Rice/
As ever,
Yours lovingly,

Dear Mother and Dad,-
Have the dugout all to myself thisevening, so am going to take advantage of it end get this letter off my chest.
It has been simply glorious today- almost like midsummer. This is the fifth successive day of such weather, and I'm hoping that it will last for a while yet. Summer time came in yesterday, so now we are enjoying an extra frour of sunshine in the afternoon. This putting the clock an hour ahead in summer is a fine thing, and ought to he a fixture even aftfcr the war..
The first Canadian letter mail for 15 days came along this morning and I euppose it is needless for me to remark that it was welcomed with open arms. I didn't do too beyST"- eight letters- among them yours of Jan 29th and Feb 5th,. The parcel you mentioned will probably he along in a few days. Hope so, for it is nearly a month since I had one. As far as that goes,none of the fellows in this dugout have received any parcels in the past two or three weeks.
