We were very'.lu'cky in having ne drysweather so that the mud did not bother us very much except around the gun park where some times it came` up to our boot tops. The actualring was great and we all thoroughly enjoyed it..The gun has quite a bark but we wadded our ears" till we became accustomed- to `it. The last day s shootingwas particularly good. We had been down in a hollow under cover ring indirectly when suddenly we received the order that infantry was supposed to be emerging from a wood a- bout two miles away. The team came, up on the doubleand rush- ed us to the top of the hill in full view of the woods and we opened fire directly byhthe open telesco- pic sights. We covered.the whole wood from which the infantry was supposed; to be .adv.a_ncing and once we got our fuse right. and our bursts the proper heights we peppered away as `fast as we could un_til..all our ammunition was expended.

We have-n`t'red a` shot yet but start tomorrow`; J us: now ou_r limbers,are full up with shells-_-t:he real article ----.r-eady { for action. This place I should think`, isabout eighty mliles `from 5- Witley and we cameby train last ` Sunday. Sunday morning was at spent in getting ready. All our equipment except our kit-bags had to be packed on the limbers, W if gunners; and on our- horses-, if * - drivers. I ride a rather fiery black steed and you should have 1 -- seen us when we got everything ` packed on, we looked like Xmas 1 `trees. Overcoat, water bottle, ` lie, haversack and bandoliers on me; 1 in`, two blankets rolled in my ground sheet were strapped on behind my saddle, on one side of my -on saddle was strapped my mess tin T and a double feed of cats in a C ,N nose-bag; on the other side of the saddle was tied a bundle of hay in a hay net. One had to lift his leg -to swing in.to the S `saddle. We loaded on the train ll 7" at Mill'ord station. The guns 1* _. were run on flat ears-, the horses, :3 packed harness and all in horse- 1* 1 cars which are so small that 11 fl eight pack in like sardines. They made a mistake in not feeding `H before loading so we had to S clamber up the side of the ear h like monkeys and adjust the k 'nose-bags. The men rode in in regulargcoaches and their dinner consisted of jam` sandwiches brought \vith them. We .didn t get here till _after dark but luck_ ily the landing platform was wellaliglited so we got unloaded and booked in in short order. We - had a three-mile ride to our al- loted huts and gun park..0n the way my horse kept continually ditching me whenever we meta car with headlights, once land, ing on its side on a low bank. He . ` must have thought ,I was very stubborn for I merely sat astride the saddle till he made another jump and landed on his feet in the road. "We find, ourselves quartered in fine huts and stab- ' time despite the chalky mud ,for T which Salisbury Plains are noted. It has been fine weather so we 5 are `lucky so far as mud goes. i The weather just now is dry and very mild, `so mild that we can knock around in our shirt sleeves and hatless.

I Particulars of her death other than that she died from the ef- fects of gas are not known, as she was _not found until Wed- nesday morning, when she had been dead severalhours. As a. basin cont.aining some wearing % apparel was found sitting over lagas heater, it is supposed that 'the young woman had been boil- ing the clothes and had gone to sleep, wluring which the water had boiled over the edges of the basin and extinguished the ame thereby permitting the gas to es- cape into the room. When an entrance was forced into the apartment` the gas was turned on , full. The authorities were notied, but there being no sus- picious circumstances the de- cision was reached that death had been accidental. i v
