West was a good chum of mind. Fred when you write again send it to the same address in Hawick I was thinking of getting married to my old girl. but I have another thought I will wait and see the War Finished. as the French will say Napoo. I send my Best wishes for a Merry Cmas and a Happy New Year to all. I hope it will be all over by the next one.

I am Your Old Friend Sgt Geo Gilchrist 443781
