BelgiumAugust 24thDear AnnieJust a line to let you know I have got back again & in the trenches just reached 2 hours ago & as tired as an old horse I had a pretty good time of it when I was home but sorry to say had to many whiskies and bottled Bosses I guess they will be telling you all about it I only had 2 days in Elgin to short all together 4 days travelling it is hardly worth while going unless one stays in England I also saw Alex Cameron the piper & Misses he is Pipe Maj now some class eh
