I am writing this in a front line trench which we have just taken from the Germans after a pretty wild time.

The men interest themselves keenly in the souvenirs they find in the trenches. Officers belongings are of course most highly prized - German officers generally carry a very small vest pocket Browning - their helmets also are much sought after
