of the brigade have had more casualties in this relief time than they have had in the front line. The weather has been much better but the only makes the mud stickier that it is a common thing for a man to be helplessly stuck in the mud until friends can release him.

Major JC Ross & for myself as his second in command this does not work out & yet I rarely feel sleepy & rarely sleep for
