At present I am sitting beside a little home-made stove in my billet, a thing that wouldn't be of much value over there at (his time of the year. Out here it is like spring, quite warm in the day fine and freezes a little at night. 1 ean't tell you very much about the trench work. I think you know I am a horse-shoer, and they thought I was of more value bobind the line shoeing horses than up there, so I have been at that nineteen months since J came out. But though I am not real close, I am not out of danger of shells, they often come close enough to make it uncomfortable for us, but the danger and hard- ship isn't so great as the front line men have it. You would laugh to see some of the homes we fix up for oursolves, all shapes and sizes, T see a few of the Cookstown boys quite often; they are all standing it fine.
