Parcels from home

"Comment allez-vous, je vois tres bien. Life is just very nice at present. Nothing much to do except exercise horses. I've been living very well."

"Grannies & Aunty's cake arrived & moistly beautiful It was. I limit myself to a piece a day to make it hang out. You've no idea how we appreciate it out here and your parcel also arrived so I did well. ...tobacco, towel & socks. The only thing you missed out was soap."

"My last got pinched so I bought some. Our underclothes which they issue are very rough. Send me a really decent pair of underpants & singlet. At the present time only have one of each that's all we are issued with."

"Expect we will be in the firing line any time now though there is no definite news yet."
