The following interesting letter
was received by Mr. and Mrs. B. W.
F. Beavers from Sergt. Jack McRae.
from •the firing line in France.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Beavers;
To -day I received your extremely
welcome letter and I can assure you
that it gives me the greatest pleas-
ure to answer it. If the people of Can
ado could only see the faces of our
boys on the arrival of a Canadian
mail they would then realize
the happiness that a few written
lines bring to our lives here. The
war with all its horrors and stern
realities is entirely forgotton forthe
moment and our minds are far off, in
dear old Canada with friends and
loved ones. It always amused me v'ry
much to watch the different express-
sions on the faces of everyone a's' the
letters are distributed.
However we all realize what Can
ada .has done and is doing for her
soliders at the front and from the
bottom of our hearts SVC thank you
alll for the kindness to 'us. I am 'cure
you ore all longing for the peace
bells to sound, but not any than
we are, 'only I don't think that any
man here wishes to lay down his
arms till we can honorably say, that
we have secured for the world n
peace which cannot be violated by
the ignoble rod of military ambition
Personally I have no doubt what-
ever. what the ultimate result of the
war will be, and away in the distance
I
wan picture our victorious army
.marching home again to enjoy the
life of peaceful citizens after the tur-
moil of the last two years. I only
hope that 1 may be one of those who
will be here to answer the, 'roll calf
but unfortunately many of our :?wave
fellows have gone down, and 1 am
afraid that many more will pay' _the
supreme price before 'we can set, our
faces .homeward.
