LETTER FROM ENGLAND.
The following letter was received
reeently ty Mr. and Mr. Williani
Racho, ot: St. Columban, from their
son, Lance Corporal Racho, who is
with a Canadian Battalion training in
England:
Camp, May 28, 1917
Dear Parents and brother,—A few
lines to let you know / am well, hop-
ing you are all the same. I have been
looking for a letter for a long time
from dear old home, but did not get
one yet, and I tell you I ani not feel-
ing very good for not getting any
word from home. This is a fine day
and I think 1 will have a good sleep
this afternoon, so 1 will be in good
shape for tomorrow. It certainly
makes one feel pretty lonesome when
he can't get home to see his parents
once in a while, but I guess we will
have to make the best of it. I do
not think it will be long till 1 will be
home with you again by the way they
talk. Ask father, if he knew Guy
Jones; his father was a blacksmith in
Sealorth. I suppose grandpa will
know.hiin too. Jones says he knows
father. Do you mind that Haines boy
that was over at Birch's, he came over
home with me one Sunday for supper.
Well, he went to France just the other
day. Tell them all at home to write
as I have been waiting for some mail
for a long time, I think I will have
close, so goodbye.and write soon. From
your loving son,
Lance Corporal W. J. Racho

Battery in France.
Somewhere in France, May 21, 1917
Dear Father, -1 have not • much
news for you this time, but thought I
had better write. Our weather still
continues fine, with flurries of shells
at times,but so far I have been lucky
due no doubt to the prayers of ney
people at home, which I trust you
never forget to make for me.
They say here that there is now

you noticed any returned officers who
have gone back to Canada lately,
rather than come to France with lower
rank and seniority? If your new
conscription act does not reach these
people, then there should be somewhat

if all are on an equal plane, or nearly
so, then things should work out cek.
