Extract from this letter

"I won't bother writing 'war' except to say we have had some exciting experiences which make one's old pumping machine inside go full speed ahead. We have, of course, had many losses all round. But we are doing quite well - we are winning from what I have seen... No, I shall never settle down to the old game if I return. It will be too slow and crawling."
