Our scouts bring us in most interesting intelligence - As to its character of course I can say nothing but it gives us interesting light upon the enemy manner of military life. A curious escape was recorded here the other day -
An engineer had the rim of his helmet turned down & slightly down into his nose by a German shell which passed him & buried in the ground without bursting - the man was quite unhurt & unshaken.
The 103rd & 11 CMR men who have been drafted into use are a poor lot as to physique - Nearly all the sick come from them & not from the men who have been enduring so long.
Many thanks indeed for your many & interesting letters.
