The following extracts from a letter received by his mother from Will. 3. 131:0WIL one of Molesworth's repre- sentetives on the first Contingent will be read with interest. Mr. Brown is a member of the 3rd Field Ambulance CoprpEsA.R Plet Ton kriA-RowEhNol;-I jaum8tgaet few glia01008n if10, hoping this will find you all well as xt leaves me fine. You can't imagine where I am writing this letter, well I will tell you, we have (mine over to a little village to church this afternoon and tbe good old person has supplied us with paper, pen and ink and we are writing in the basement of the church. The girls have fixed up tables and seats for us. Church is very old built in 1762 and everything is old and quaint. The girls have shown us all through it and theou eh the gvaveyard behind the church, same of the grave stones are dated back as far as MOO, We have been singing eti the organ almost all afternoon. There is only about 200 of a population in the vil- lage. The people are very kind to us and call us their Canadian cousins. We had dinner with an old lady who has two sons at the war and she is very poor. We gathered up 15 shilling among 8 of us and gave it to her. Besides paying for dinner, we promised to gd back and have supper - before church time. Some of the people here have never seen a large town, they have little farms and live in the village. We have had very miserable weath- er since 1 wrote you last, raining day and night and it is raining now. We are wet through every day but we are getting used to it. The rain cornett through the tents very badly end we might jest as well sleep outeide, but we are not so badly off as the poor fellows at the front who are lying in the trenches in the rain. The Germans are malting a bold attempt to capture Calais, just 20 miles across the English channel from Dover. If they take it we shall likely be sent to the front immediately. We get all the latest war „news brought into the camp every day. Some of the flying machines in our camp have flown over to France, which is not very far from here, but cif e01,1118 they were not carrying guns they were only scouting. 'We are go- ing to get three dolt leave before we start for the front. I ain going home' with one of my comrades, labs people live in New Castle mici have emit me an invitation to Conte with Fretek, he was one of tny chutes in 13randon. I am looking for letters from home. and if we are away teens here they will be forwarded on to me, Suppos- ing we are in the fighting line we will etill have mail brought to us, if we will get any chance to read it, Eng - laud is a nee countt'y, the hedges, stone fences and thateliede0ofs oh the houses are very old fashioned. I saw O limn atni a clog leading a large bunch of sheep to -day to be killed fee mutton for the soldiers, They are not driving them as they would at home, but they were111 follovrihg the num and the dog Was keeping the stragglets in their pla0e, Marty of the Gerinens in England ate being arrested end made prisoners of war. They have caught a lot of them spyiets so thought it Would be best to arrest them and make sure. One of the guards in the camp shot e, German here on Friday, He lied enough poieon on hito to kill the whole Canadian army, Fle was try- ing les put ib in the large Water tanks He shot, the guard through the knee but had his brains blown Out before be could do much. Well I Will have to close and give some one else a chance to write. Hopingto heti' front you 00 i, 1 reirtainwyne, Isonvialivirgare, "Pond Pam Cane Stdisbory riakeri Hemet& Oct, 10111,
