able to develope this though of course my circle of acquaintances is enormously increased. I can see that we have got to know people in the East which means knowing people who are known politically.

Eric Armour of Bristol & Armour is here with us working on the legal aid. He comes from Corps. By the way did I ever mention that my immediate boss the DAAG (a) Lt Col D.W.B Spry comes from Barrie & knew the Charles Creases? He has behaved very well to me & has always shewn me much considerations. For after all I am an anomaly. For all official purposes (including pay) I am only a captain in the 29th Bn. I am not even officially attached to Division. I get no staff pay & as you know there is no possibility of promotion. On the 4th Jan when a vacancy will occur in the 29th Bn I shall become eligible for a majority owing to the unfortunately serious wound of my best friend in the Bn, Major W.W. Maclean.

Poor chap if he ever recovers it will be a long time hence for he is making very bad weather of it in a London hospital now. I wrote Nell about my return home & she will probably see you about it.

Ever your affectionate brother

Arthur
