ing far from schedule. The train on

to four hours late. It is estimated

LETTER FROM ENGLAND
Following is a sketch of a letter re-
ceived this week by Robt. Currie's,
East Wawanosh, from Pte. David
Johnston, 161st Battalion, now station-
ed at Digby Camp, Shorncliffe, England.
November 27th, 1916.
Here I am at the Y. M. C. A. to -night
and waiting for a concert to start, but
I hope to get this letter finished before
it starts. This is the reason I am
scribbling with a pencil.
One hundred of our boys were taken
to France this morning and we gave
them a hearty send-off. John I.errwas
among them. I am in the draft for
Wednesday. One hundred more leave
about that day. Of course we never
know until we are away. I got my full
outfit to -day and it is sure a good one,
in comparison to that supplied by
Canada.
I had my pass and spent my six days
in London. But six days is nothing in a
city like that. I would need at least
two months to see near all that is to
see. So many historical places that
have been there for centuries. The
tower has all the crowns in it that have
been worn by the Kings and Queens. I
was only there for a few hours and I
would like to have had a couple of days
at least. I was all through West-
minster Abbey, was at Buckingham
Palace one morning when several
Canadians were decorated for their
brave deeds at the front.
I have received no mail from Canada
yet, although some of the boys have
been more lucky than I. There has
been a lot of Canadian mail arrived. I
saw a copy of the Wingham Advance
to -day, and the Goderich Star yester-
day, but they were the first issue in
November, so you see the news really
is old before we got it, but just the
same it is nice to get the good old home
news,
I was over and visited the 209th Bat-
talion yesterday. Saw• many of my old
chums from the West. It really is my
home battalion,
I find it hard to continue this letter
as the concert is on and I have to listen
of course. Mr. Cowell is our pianist
and Scotty Forbes has IVO' finished
singing "Annie Laurie". ' He has been
coaxed back and is now singing "Some-
where in France."
I suppose you will be through with
the busy times on the farm crow till
next spring. Well, a rest is a good
thing but I figure en working this
winter. It will be sa •change •to last
year, but well -I don't always like a
change.
Well. I am waiting every day for a
letter from you and hope I receive one.
Remember me to all the rest, so must
close with love to all of you and wishing
you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
