CAMP LIFE IN ENGLAND
Art Interesting Letter front Pte. Leonard
Brock
Rants, Bramehott Oamp,
Mrs. E. A, Brock, April 12th,914.
Wingham, Ont.
Dear Mother; --
As we are now settled in camp, I
thought I would write immediately
and let you know what it le like,
We left the boat (Olympic) yester-
day afternoon and boarded the funniest
looking train I -have ever seen, having
low narrow coaches which can only
be entered from each side and only
accomodates eight persons, but pecu-
liar looking as these cars are, they can
certainly travel, and brought us to our
destination at three o'clock this morn-
ing. We got out of the train at some
village, three, miles from here and
walked the rest of the journey with
full kit on our backs,
The trip by train from Liverpool
was the most interesting part of our
journey. We passed through numer-
ous towns and cities intervened by
fields of green grass, surrounded by
green hedges, with fresh, spring flow-
ers to be seen on every hand..
Our camp accomodatione certainly
excel any we have yet had and are
certainly beyond my expectations.
We sleep in frame huts which are
built the same as small houses with
plenty of ventilation, light, heat and
room. There is
adouble floor in
each
hut, and the huts are raised high
enough from the ground to be dry.
Each house aceomodates one platoon
and is partitioned into two rooms.
So there are two sections to each hut,
There are plenty of hooks and shelves
for our equipment and clothes and a
table in each room, so we have a regu-
lar house of our own.
A short distance from our hut there
is a Iarge building in which the whole
battalion dines, and there is also a
large wash room a little distance
away.
We are a regular town of ourselves
with two but churches. a S. A. rest-
eurant. a picture show, a swimming
pool, also a post office, bank and
photograph gallery. All these build-
ings are quite handy and can be reach
ed in five minutes time. There is a large
Y.M.C.A, hut a short distance sway
which will be a great convenience.
• We are only twenty-seven miles
from London and can get. there and
back for one ebilling and three pence
(30c) so you see that travelling is
cheaper here than in Canada.
Pete Greer is stationed here some
place with one of the batteries. I am
going to took him up after dinner, and
don't think I should have any trouble
as there are not many soldiers station-
ed here at present.
I do not know when we will get our
pass; but think it will be pretty soon.
We get six days and will be paid
before we get it. I do not know where
I will go, but intend to go to London
and call on Miss Reynolds' milliner's
sister.
When we get over here we have to
soldier in proper style. If a man is
absent without leave for ten minutes
he gets fourteen days' detention and
pay stopped for an indefinite time.
We have to drill about ten hours a
day and will be starting at squad drill
from the very bottom so our picnic
days are over.
We had no drill as yet and may not
have this week, however, I have been
kept fairly busy to -day as it was my
turn at mess orderly
Some of the boys have a great time
figuring out the English system of
money and quite e a nu mbar have been
imposed on, but I have had no trouble
whatever as yet, and think I shall be
ableo
t manage what money I have.
T cannot post this till tc-morrow ae
mail is collected only on Mondays and
Thursdays, so I ern writing a line or
two more.
It seems funny to think that while
it is almost dark here now, it is only
noon in Ontario and while you are eat-
ing your supper, I shall be in bed
sleeping.
I am quite taken with our camp
grounds and will enjoy our stay in
England very much, as it is becoming
very warm, and we shall be meeting
with new experiences every day.
I went ip search of Pete Greer, but
did not succeed in finding him but will
later.
H. Brown and I are going to the
village and 1 believe 1 will take this
lettereeith me so I will close for this
time. Will write again soon,
your loving soln,
