Extracts from this letter

"We get plenty of music too from the big guns, have it breakfast, dinner and tea and all night sometimes. Last night May 5th was a very heavy bombardment."

"You may hear something of it through the papers. We have heard that the Germans got a good pasting. I hope it turns out to be correct."
