Letter from
Ser t1 a Tambl
� n y
filrorneiltie Military Ttospltel,
June S6th,1016,
To The Editor or the Neter Era,
Dear Sir;—Before Ileft home T
promised some 04 my friends that
I would drop them a line once
and s, while through your valua-
ble paper. This I (intended, ere
this, to do, but I have 'found that
promises are more' easily -made
than kept, perhaps in the army
more than in ordinary life. At
any rate, though I have started
several letters before, this ono
must go.
Though half way through my
course tor my captain'sa!pers I
enlisted as a private with the
Queen's University reinforcements
eu as to' be with my+ friends. Per-
haps no bunch of fellows ever ler!
home in better spirits than we, as
we sailed away !bound 'dor Cairo.
Egypt, as we thought. Our only
worry was that we might Isave
long enough in England to see
a little of the country. We soon
found that, owing to the fortunes
of war, we were to spend more
time in England than we had ex
pectod. The very day after our
arrival our unit was broken up
and placed in the various hospit-
als around. We could not im-
agine why this was, (but after-
wards learned that our hospital
was being moved to Era.nee, In
the meantime, I was at the C.A.
M,C, Training School, Somehow 1
was 4ortunate and got .a good
amount of escort duty 'which falls
to sergeants of the school, 'Just.
at the very best part of spring I
lad the privilege of seein°', Ash-
ford CantenburY, Ramage, London
Coleliester•, Bishop S.tobford, and
Many other places of interest
Shortly after, T got my six days'
pass and with aLfriend, spent sit
wonderful trays, most of them in
the lake district of "Bonnie Sent
-
land,'” No wonder the Soot likes
to talk of his hone land..
As ,soon as T came back from
this trip T was promoted to Phy-
afcal Instructor in a class of Non -
comm s i e d 'f
ane ,Officers., e
t fc rs.It was
rather st
range drilling some who
had been soldiers a,s many as ninc-
teen years. IfevertheleeS I en-
joyed egery minute of it and in
some ways wish I Were at it yet
But when T, got the cl arae° to carne
to the hospital which was being
taken over ihy a new unit rand be
ing reorganized, T said '"Yes'e at
once. Welled to work Utmost day
and night 'for the firstfew clays,
but it has been a wondeerirl chance
to learn the -imide workings, ot. an
hospital Sol-teeth/le Inlay tele yaw
comething'ofthe wonderful system
of caring for .our ,wounded heroes,
At present'' must think ofstdp
ing dor the 'birds are beginning to
sing, all ;only . English: birds n
ca
sing, and daylight le last coming
on. They remind me T must soon
snake my rounds. •
I guess I did not tell you that
though T am here officially as
Physical Instructor, I aru, till we
getmore .hetp do'ng duty as night
Ward master ,for the hospital, Very
intereating work even though it
takes thirteen hours to da anight s
work. Much of that time the hard
est part is.keeping awake for any
dmergency call. This Bart af, the
time T spend practising on the
typewriter and inflict the results
on lay friends, as you see by the
above letter,
Hope you wilt forgive nae for
not writing at a, time .when I
would be "more awake'" to make
this letter interesting, but I have
very little of ''halt time at my
disposal.
I wish I could take you out
with pie for a minute. A glorious
]English morning is breaking forth.
We would 'stand on the cliff over -
'looking the channel and wculclsee
the morning light glittering on it
sea as smooth as glass, and ;see
ship after 'ship 'gliding gracefully
to "Somewhere," I have seen lee
many es sixty in a line stretching
as ler as the eye can see, and
at equal distance from each other,
1 am going to sencl you nay ad-
dress with the intimation that
mail !from anyone in the old home
town dons much to 1jrive away
some ioneeene `moments ,and
would a.lwatya be (received with
pleasure, '.Chis mazy !tette my ad
these Ifo- very long, for T hope
soup to be":.omuwhcra lug) an e,'•
but this will always dincl rare.
Hoping and rather expecting to
be back by Xmas, I remain,
i - JJSlieerely,
Will Tarnblyn.
