As you know I took no active part though I was called up before the end of the show.

If there were time & writing were easier you should receive reams of description but not yet; there is too much else to do.

casualties were decidedly light - you can't imagine how some of the old [illegible] of this who endured are enjoying handing it back to Fritz now. No German was bayonetted this time so far as I know. Grenades of various kinds are very effective.

Love to all

Yr loving brother

Arthur

Quote from German document

The Canadians are known to be good troops and are therefore well suited for assaulting. There are no deserters to be found amongst the Canadians.
