needs in the trenches But much as I appreciate the contents of your parcel it af fords mo even greater pleasure to of the kindness and thought of the good ladies to wards boys in the trenches In order that you may under stand the urgent need all sol diers especially those In the front line trenches have for socks it might bo well to give a brief account of conditions here The temperature compared with that of Canada Is not cold it seldom goes below freezing point but is is of a penetrating nature On account of So much rain the trenches since October have been in a very wet and mud dy condition While this has been remedied to a great extent by board walks along the trench it is quite a common occurrence for one to step off into a pool of water or Into mud well above the Once one Is so un fortunate to get ones boots wet is little chance of dry ing them whilo in trenches Tor the enomy seems to delight In throwing grenades and shells at smoke from the front lines thus it Is that pocks are so needed for It Is quite necessary to have dry ones every day The sentry at night finds It almost impossible to keep his feet warm and if his socks are not dry his feet arc sure to gel numb which often gives him greater trouble later Again allow me to express my thanks to the members of Society and to wish them every possible J any Gratefully yours W J MoTavish I I While the blizzard Is blow-
