Words to His Comrades in the
B.V.R.C. Contingent.

�Just a few lines to let you know that I received your papers to-day but sorry I did not get a letter. Very pleased to see by papers how many of my chums have volunteered; they will have to go some to beat me. I�m going up to the firing-line to-morrow (Sunday), 7th Feb, I am now satisfied. I�ve been over this side of the globe 6 months now, and just got the chance of having a taste of it. You might give any of the boys, you happen to run across, my regards.Tell them: THEY DON�T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MISSING; IF THEY DON�T HURRY UP AND GET OUT HERE THEY WILL MISS ALL THE FUN. If you should run across Sergt. Major Smith, of the B.V.R.C. tell him that I say he had better put the boys through a GOOD AND STRONG, as they will need all of it out here. . . .Well, I�ll write you as often as I can; of course you know just how I�m fixed now, so don�t be at all worried, I shall be alright.� --122289, A.G. Tear, 1st Bedfordshire Regt., British Expiditionary Force, France.
