During the morning: you can see several sausages »or observation balloons slowly drift upward and sway back and forth over its â€" long cable attachment&o sink slowly _ to earth again at sunséet. Then if it is a clear day a German plane high up will shoot over our lines. The antiâ€" aircraft guns pop away at it and spot the sky with puffs of bursting shrapâ€" nel which,; however, never seem _ to get near the target. Then several of our own planes will shoot out _ and try to cut off the return of the enemy. I saw one German plane go down the other day, but even then you could scarcely conceive it as a death duel.. It strangely reminded one of a wingâ€" ed duck or an acrobatic performance at Toronto Fair. Just a line and a pnoto to let you know what I look like and feel like, and I will send you another photo following this. Dad, take notice of that post card on the wall. That is the photo of Mrs. Fleming‘s place. That is the one they sent me in the box they sent me. Take notice of my Canâ€" adian flag on my hat. I am going to send one to Mrs. Fleming as well. Well I must say good bye to all for this time and may God bless you all and keep you all until we meet again. My Dear Dad: Well, my dear dad, I must say good bye for this time and with the best wishes and a happy New Year to you all. God bless you and keep you all ur}til we meet again.

Well Mother,; there isn‘t much news for me to tell you, only that L am still useless on my left side and my eyes are getting worse all the time. Here is a photo of the ward I am in and the boys and one of the sisters and nurses taken on Xmas Day. Well Mother I only hope that you had a good time on Xmas and all I can do is to wish you a happy New Year. I haven‘t received your Christmas box yet, but I guess I will get it in time, but I would like to get it. . I know that there will be nice things in it. s snoring) dies away, that a new sense begins to take up the tale. A musician could well imagine some gigantic hymn of destruction (or should I say creation) being played by the ponderâ€" ous fingers of some wild unconvenâ€" tional pagan god. At nearly regular intervails the bigoguns boom out their deep bass notes. The song itself weaves in and out throught the quick staccato notes of the various field guns interspersed here and there by a higsh soprano run on rattling maâ€" My dear Mother: I®am taking the greate in dropping these few lines know that I am getting 0o hoping that these few lin« vyou all the same.~ At night the war aspect becomes more realistic. Over a wide semicircle the star shells peer up over the horiâ€" zon, glow for a minute like inquisitiv/e electric light, then sink back into the darkness. Here and there the sky is splashed with a momentary red glow as the guns are fired. But is when one is tucked away in his blankets .and the bunk house noise _ (except the snoring) dies away, that a new sense A LETTH at Toronto At night more realis the star sh zon, glow f before sleeping time. Gr. H. E. Amoss No 39th. aBttery, 10th 3rd. Division, C For the past weex I have been working on some stables and bunk houses which the brigade is building and â€" am getting to be a real "old soldier." Some of the H. S. pupils would certainly smile coulld they see Amoss plodding slowly along carryâ€" ing a single board as if he were Atlas with the World on nis shoulders. I sometimes wonder whether .A shall ever again pace up and down the aisles with the old speed when I reâ€" turn. But I should worry. We are living in a large and very comfortably outfitted bunk house at the horse lines. A short distance back from the guns. Being a new man _ I have been placed on fatigue before be ing sent up tothe guns. A After much tramping _ back _ and forth from one headquarters to anâ€" other, we were finally located in our respective batteries, being again split up and separated. I and another chap were sent to the 39th. battery 10th brigade, 3rd. division, a Lethbridge outfit, 18 pounder battery. The next evening we returned to Harve by the mountain road which enters the city down a long flight of steps.. The lights of the city viewed from the top of the stairs, strikingly resembles the view of Hamilton from the mountain and‘looked cheerful inâ€" deed after living in darkened Engâ€" land. We journeyed three days and two nights per box car route to our destination. Though we were 33 in a car smaller than a G.T.R. box it was not half bad. We stopped once at Rouen at a rest station on the banks of the Sceine. The river here is heayâ€" ily burdened with barge traffic, in fact many families seem to live on moored barges as one reads of the river people in China. Pt. Rowan H. S., my successor.
