Letters From the Front

Dated: December 1, 1915

Our regiment is at present back in billets at a small town and we expect to return to the front line any day. Instead of going in last time I was sent to a trench warfare school for six days, where with others I dug and delved in the ground until my arms and back ached unmercifully each day. There were many wrinkles to learn and I managed to pick up a few.
