Dear Mother and Father;•—
T suppose you will naturally be
getting anxious to 'know how I'm
Pm getting; alopg and where 1 m woanded
and a great marry' other things. I
suppose you got my cards all right.
This is the fleet opportunity 1 have
had of. writing. Well to begin with,
my stay wasn't very long in Frazee
was it To start at the first, it was
rather sudden that we left Le Havre
A telegram was Deceived at 2 a. m,
and wd were up at 4 a. m. and away
as soon as we could possibly get. It
was there that the change of 'regi-
ments occurred, on account of the
sudden need: of men, They 'took them
from the quickest way they could get
them. I arna glad of it now for we
went to one of the best (if not the
best) battalion out there. They have
made the reputation that no other
battalion has, they have never lost
en inch of ground since they have.
been there and are consequently
sent to the toughest places on the
line to hold th.m. 1 suppose you head
or the 'Canadians charge at Ypres well
that is?where they sant us, eo you can
imagine that we were 11:1 the thickest
of id all.
Really 1 tate iso much to tell, I
had better start at the first. 'We
started off from our billets about
7 o'clock in big motor trucks. We
were taken about half the way in
those until the roads were impass-
able, then we got out and foot it the
rest of the way.
A howitzer a3.itt,ery
It was laughable but at the time
no joke one incident which f shall nev
er forget. •t'4e were passing a high
hedge. Of course it was dark and you
couldn't see (and you had yo.tr hands
full keeping yourself out of holes full
of innak and water on the roads, whi-
ch at its best wee up to, your shins i.tn
toed), and this high hedge, it was
more like bu.ehes: made it darker. We
were going alone laughing and talk-
ing, when all at once such a crash
and roar took place. 1 don't rememe
ber hearing anything like it before.
Tee ground we were standing on
shook and trembled. Roar followed
roar for a minaite or so, we were daz-
ed and stunned. The first thing that
I thought of was that we were being
shell d, but a second later we found
'that tied ~sere passing a large "Bowe
Ltzer Batters". But 1'11 tell you it
scared us for a maxtient. Yon couldn't
possibly imagine the not -se. It wasn't
very long after that, that we began
to Lear stray balite :wizzing around
and an occasional shell fell. And as
we got up closer the tbicker and the
closer whizzed those stray shots. Of
