Friend Fred Tregillus,

They have got me at last,and I am in Good Old Blighty after 13 months of heavy fighting. Lucky old Scotty. I thought I was going to Heaven when the shell Burst. it put me up in the air.

I could hear him shouting where is my arm. and I asking him where is my "Arse" I thought it
