I'm not riding my motor cycle very much right now, because one of the boys was fooling around with a revolver and I happened to be unlucky enough to be in the way when he. pulled the trigger, The bullet went through my left shoulder and lung. then lodged in the flesh, quite close to the spine. They removed it four days later. I guess that old piece of lead had my name on it but I fooled them and lived. I've been in the hospital close to three weeks now, and I haven't much hopes of getting out for a while. The Duke and Duch- ess of Kent and Lady Astor were very nice. I have a very good friend here; she is one of the Nursing Sis- ters. I knew her when she was in the hospital at home. She comes in to see me quite often. My Command. ing Officer comes up quite' often. and quite a few of the boys, from other regiments, so I don't get too lonely. Write soon. With love, ARCHIE. Kirkby-Walker— The home of 'Mrs. E. G.
