First you will no doubt be pleased but very surprised to hear that I came out <u>Top</u> in the Exam & I start the course tomorrow. As this Exam is for the whole Division here I'm very pleased. Secondly at the end of last week there has been a devil of a scrap & we hear there are 12000 Canadian casualties - this of course [?] up the 4th Division, & they are calling barges[?] on the Battalion in it for reinforcements which are being rushed over immediately. This could have happened to us even if we had managed to get with the Fourth so it was only a case of being broken up a month either by not getting in. Today we have heard news of the death of Lord Kitchener & that following. the not very satisfactory moral battle makes this week a black long bleek week indeed. |
