when one needed a little cheering up You will have read in the newspapers what the Canadians have gone through but we did what we were called on to do and I think made a name for Canada in the Worlds History of War Congratula tions have been flowing in from all parts of the It was a ter rible ten days of an Inferno that a life time in a ten days The groans of the wounded will never leave me and what the Division went through was terrible too awful for words All my old friends are gone either severely wounded or falling Heros graves on the battlefield and now- reaping the reward of service freely rendered The General shook hands today with the Officers who arc left and It was a pitiful few The Canadians were thrown into a Breach opposed to four times their number and ac tually charged into this horde with the bayonet throwing the Germans in to bewilderment by such dare devil bravery and by that sort of work held the line intil reinforcements ar rived charging through storm of shot shell that one would think impossible for man to live in Do not think for minute that we arc downhearted but just eager for some more It is sweet to think we got four for every one of ours Hope Mr has ho trouble with the Loafer and that the milk arrives safe ly With kindest regards to all Dick Jones We have just came out of the trenches and are now I away I guess you have heard before now about the big German attack on and how it foiled Our boys did I well and London is forever talking about our fellows We had Germans on each side front and rear The French troops were on Hie left of us and the Germans shelled them with poisonous gas and they had to retreat That let the Germans through and they got behind us but we turned our- machine guns on them and they soon disappeared The gas I nines were terrible like a thick fog However I got through I do not i know how unless it was the will of God One incident that touched me deeply was when one our fellows found his chum dead from gas poison ing The poor fellow got right down on his knees in the trench and pray- to God to punish the wretches who poisoned his chum We were under tiro 22 days and you cannot imagine what a relief it is to be out of the sound of the big guns All the Newmarket hoys excepting myself are in the I do not know how they fared We have lost something like men in the lkitt but I am thank ful to say some of the number ate only wounded Now 1 must close hoping this find you alt in Newmarket in best of health Herbert Kelly P you kindly send this let ter to the local Papers as I cannot write to iny other friends
