FROM THE CmiNa LINE
The following very interesting letter
was received by a Wingham lady from
a relative, Pte. Cameron Lane, a son
of Mr. and Mrs, Richard E. Lane of
Waxman, Sask., formerly of Ashfield
township, Huron county, Pte. Lane
was manager of a branch of the Bank
of Hamilton • In Saskatchewan before
enlisting.
Belgium, July 12:h, 1810.
Dear Cousin:—
Your very welcome letter to hand
yesterday and am now taking the first
opportunity to answer ft. .X was more
Ulan pleased to hear from you and to
learn that you are well except for your
temporary illness •on the day you
wrote and trust that •long ere this
you will have completely recovered.
Do not know whether you will be
able to decipher my writing or not.
When I explain the existing circum-
stances you will understand the cause
of the scrawl. In the first place I am
'3itting on some sand bags in a six foot
much out in the heart of what was
once a beautiful forest but now is a
tangled mase of wreckage, Ilam a
sentry and every minute or two have
got to take a look at my periscope to
make sure that Fritz is not coming to
say us •a visit. Every little while a
shell goes tearing over our heads but I
am glad -to eay none have ever been
sent directly to us today. My writing
table consists of my knee.
I would like to give you a description
tf things here as I have found theist
out the English language does'not pee -
less words capable of transmitting the
proper impressions.. But Fritz is on
the move in the right direction now
and I act sure he will continue to move
that way. Germany will surely soon
realize that she is playing a loosing
game and submit to terms of peace.
You asked about out rations, Jean,
.nd I am glad to say that conditions
ire not so bad as some people believe.
We certainly had room to kick for
awhile when in England but condit-
ions improved considerably before we
13ft. Over here we get enough to stat
if nothing goes wrong with our trate-
ports. -
I appreciate very much your kind
ffer to send necessary articles across
co me, but when really at the front it
is almost impossible to carry anything
around and to tell the truth Jean,
about all theTommies appreciate over
'wee ie something(home cooked) to eat.
Chs trouble and expense of sending
:atables across from Canada is eo great
.bat it seems foolish to send such
hings. On tate other hand I do not
know of anything in this battle -scarred
:ountry that pleases a soldier more
han to receive a parcel in the mail
from some dear one far away. No
matter what the parcel contains it
,pleases just the same. Yesterday I
rot two parcels /row home containing
rake etc. and you should . have seen
the boys -crowd around when I opened
chem. Mother would have bean well',
repaid for her trouble could she have
heard the retnarke which went round,
after the cake had been cut up.
Long before this letter reaches you
you will no doubt 'know of Russ' re -
,,urn to -Canada. Be is a very lucky
(toy and I hope that henevergete near
the Lighting line again, He has done
his sbsee now and he. should be satis-
fred to stay from the firing line.
This is my last sheet of paper so am
afraid I will have to discontinue writ-
ing for today ablest*. I shall be pleas -
d to hear from you at any time Jean,
Ind I promise to reply as soon as pos-
sible.
Your affectionate cousin,
Cameron
