I might as well be at the seaside except that every now & again someone comes in from the front. It must be a wonderful sight to go alone behind the battle line & see the tall wheat dotted with the heads of Boche popping up here & there to see if they are amongst friends or not. These same fields when they are reaped if ever will tell a strange story. Most of the casualties on both sides are caused by the M.G. or rifle bullet. No bombs not much enemy artillery. We have taken most of their guns - even caught reinforcements detraining.
Certainly the cavalry have had a day of it. We find Boche wounded cut with sabres. Quite a new idea. I am moving this to the mail.
