FROM ARTHUR SOOLE
The following very interesting let-
ter wasreceived recently by Mr. John
Irlactavish, from Arthur Soole, a for-
mer well known Seaforth boy, and a
popular employee in the Mactavish
store. Pte. Soole was badly wounded
at Vimy Ridge and is now in a Lon-
don hospital:
Dear Jack:—About two weeks ago
I received your welcome letter of Ap-
ril 17th, along with some fourteen oth-
er letteri which had been sent to
France, consequently delayed at var-
ious postal depots over there. Pre-
srious to receiving this, packet of let-
ters I had gone for two months with-
out any mail.. Lately, however, let-
ters have been arriving with mere reg-
ularity and as a rule mail froin Can-
ada takes three weeks from date of
posting imtil it reaches me. I pre-
sume you have received the 'fetter I
wrote you while in the hospital at Bou-
logne. On May lat I -was sent across
to England, and since *then we have
had some glorious weather,and I have
taken full advantage by getting ont-
side as much as possible with the re-
ed* that have gained up rapidly.
There is a fine park in connection
with the hos-pita' so I spend a great
deal of iny time there as it is a splen-
did. place to do any reading or -writing.
A couple of days age they verform-
ed another operation on my jaw, and
I expect to undergo at least three more
before I will look anyways presentable,
and it will be months before I will be
able to, chevrtany food. Am still on
a semi-liquid diet, but I can now
drink out of an ordinary cup, so have
been able to dispense with the rubber
tube. Cannot talk very well yet, but
expect to improve when they provide
me with a lower lip.
I suppose you are wondering -w Oen
the next advance will take place on
the Western front. Well I don't think
we will have long to wait if hospital
preparations are a true indication ,
What did you thutk of that bril-
liant exploit resulting in the capture
of Messines Ridge recently? It was a
great piece of work and happily ac-
ccoamsualplitsyhedlistw.ith a comparatively small
The Canadian losses at Vimy Ridge
have assumed greater -proportions
than were at first expected, but of
course, we 131 t take into considera-
tion the fact that when the French
made their b g attack on Vinry in
1915 their loses were at leaSt five
times greater than. ours last April.
1,11 never forget that eventful Easter
Monday ancl the previous night which
we spent in the assembly treech, get-
ting very little sleee and waiting im-
patiently for the faint light of early
morning when the guns started their
ceaseless roar and we got the signal
to advance to the attack.
By noon we had gained the crest of
the Ridge and from the high ground
we could see the British troops on our
right going forward in attack forma-
tion following close on their barrage.
It was a great sight. From our vant-
age point we also had an excellent
view of the Daouai Plains with the
,city of Lens slightly on our left and
numerous villages dotting the 1.and-
scape in all directions.
