Me- Lean of the Third Canadian Reserve, Eng- Jand, to 2Mrs. W. J. McLean, Ivy. Dear Mother:--We expected: to .get. our: pase ast Monday, 'but) were disappointed for 'some reason or other, although. we got it on the: following |Wedriesday, and it was a beautiful (1) morning, raining like 'the mischief.. We arrived in London about +1030. aim, then took @ stroll' around through Leicester 'Squire; Piccadilly and the Strand. By this time we were ready for something to eat, because, 'you know, the high living at Sundling don't last a fel- Jow long., After dinner" we. went. up to Madani Tussaud's Wax,Works, where they have wax images of men end women from the, present time fo away bag, to Adam and Eve nearly. When you first goin you xo natural. . They have the costumes worn in. their time. There is nid' use telling you who the images were for it would fill a newspaper, Next' we took in the Botani- cul Giirdens where I saw some of the pret- . tiest flowers I ever saw in. my life. If you were there a fellow would never get. you 'out. Then we. went to the Zoological Gar- dens: "They- have all the. birds, animals 'put in some time there, as there was bo much to see. About 10.80 p.m, we took the train for Edinburgh. I don't care much for London, for the streets" ure so narrow you would think they were trying. to. save ground when they built it. They, are about. as wide' axa back Iane at-home. But in Edinburgh ete are wider, ne of them about five yards in width, They "have sonie fi) the finest buildings here, both old wand médern, and are all built. of stone, 1 have not seen one brick: or wooden build: + ing'in Edinburgh, The sidewalks are. also. mide of stone.' The buildings are not very high, but very large. As-Sor the hills they are worke than: they aré around home. _ It geminds me of St, Jobn..' We have 'not been out in the Highlands at all, but when yoit-get out' of the city # piece you can see them, they look fine. .No wonder Scotchman is° proud 'of his. country, -but not a bit andre than we Canadians are. of our fair' Dominion. The Scotch -use, us "Canadians fine. Down in. England if you go-into a store they want to charge you about "two prices for an article, but up in Scotland they are not xo much that way, The first Contingents spoiled it for us later fellows. When they went into-a store fo buy, if there was a few. pennies of change coming to'them they wouldn't take it, So the people got wise to it, and now they try to soak us. We spent the night at 'King George and Queen Mary Victoria League Club." 'We' were di- rected to this 'place by an old guy as soon as we got off the 'train, It. only cost ut about' $1.25 day) for bed and meals, It ix very' reasonable for the price of every: thing over here; one cotildn't get it for that in London.: After?we' hud breakfust. next 'myorning:we went fo see Scott's monuinent, which is 'about 180 feet. high. We went up to the highest circle by a winding stair- 'éaxe yp one of the pillars. They: are some stuirt--like # gorksctew. -Then. we went to & place called Calton' Hill, where the most prominent monument. is Nelson's, Next came dinner which we enjoyed after climb- ing si much, In the afternoon we hired # fa nice bridge, although we have bigger bridges in Canada,- It is about a mile-and 8 quarter long, Next morning we left Edin: burgh for London,' We still. had more sight-seeing to do, as we had. not'tsken 'in all the. placeswe( wanted 'to see, First we nt ta a.couple\of museums, much the jing as those in Edinburgh. Next place wat Westminster Abbey.°- There we . saw the' 157th Battalion colors. It wae The first time 1 hac ever: seen, them for I was in quarantine when they were presented. T mever expected to see them there. We saw a, few other colors there, too... It is a mag- nificent okt building. Next day about 3 p.m: we left for the Camp.
