is to see that our men know what to do in case of emergency. Each battalion has its band & they take it in turns to play at dinner as well as at other times. I have a horror of loud music at meals & consider an admission of inferiority of intellect to allow it to take the place of conversation but seem to like it when the music is creditable.
We are a very representative lot, the troops coming from Victoria, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, St John & containing French Canadians, Doukhobors, heavy artillery, aviators, and medical corps. They are some very nice fellows among them & some congenial spirits & many who have already served in this war. I will leave off here for the present add a line when we reach shore so that you may know where we are stationed.
