Extia.cts of a, letter"fo a. eoldier's
1 parents, near here,
Shornclffe, .July 4,1916
My little trip to London was
;wonderful, and ,each night. Iwent
to bed very, very -tired. That
visit was; interesting and wits an
excellerih exucation. I.iy whole
time was taken up going :around
to'see the various .places of in-
terest, and some of them required
some time. • ,,
I stayed at the Y,M,C;A„ about
half an hour's walls: from .Charing
Cross Station, where all :soldiers
and sailors pare made welcome.
Large dormitories are provided
for sleeping accommodation with
bunks one on top of the other.
Breakfast is also available, .and
this is given for one shilling and
sixpence, ;which is very reason-
able, We arrived about 6 o'clock
at night, so did not go ,out that
night, as it was, dark 'by the time
we had our supper, and there is
no use going out to see London
at night, as it remain£ in com-
plete darkness. The 'next morn-
ing was spent in riding on the
top of penny busses, sightseeing.
In the. afternoon the Tower of
London was visited. Soldiers are
,admitted free, and the :guards
took us through and explained
everything, which reminds one of
the history studied 'when at school
(don't laugh, it"a not ;French).
First, there is the Bloody Tower,
where all sorts of notable people
were confined for execution.
There the two princes were moth-
ered to death. This was. all ex-
plained. Next we went to seethe
crown jewels; they are ma:gnifi'.
cent Of course they are 4vellpro-
tected with iron gratings and
guards. Talk about diamonds`
pearls, rubies and gold- t ''he
.crown studded with diamonds and
Precious stones, is beanti£u1.•
The armories were then visited
and all sort4 of armor from the
16th Century up W the present,
was df preyed, (Figure, sitting on
dummy horses! with both horses
and men armored, May he seen,
and A old cannon of every descrip—
tion, some with marvellous chrt•-
ing all over them, up to the mod-,
ern gun on whi^h the 'body of the
(ate King Edward, was conveyea.
Then there is they St. John's capol
where many noted olden , timers
w ere marrieds, and worshipped.
Underneath, prisoners were con-
fined and beheaded. The block
and axe are, to be :seen, as well
as the dungeon, There axe some
very reniarkalble design'/ carved
on the ',valla and etone floor, by
prisoners. Of course this took
the greater' part of the afternoon
but welled pelf an hoer to go to
( London Bridge and look up and
down the Thames River. The of-]
tr,.rnoon was finished 'by riding
home in the Tube, , 'seventy feet
under ground, several miles for
sixpence, and the, cats travel like
"sixty?' 'Mighty safe place if
there should bei•Zeppelin around.
At night we went to the Palace
theatre, which is very large. We
