war started have had a raw deal right along. I'm still a subaltern as I was in August 1914 and likely to be so as I'll see myself damned before I grovel to any bally politicians as most of these people do. I'm really quite happy where I am and the sense of self satisfaction of having been one of the first goes a long way. John Jakes is still I believe on sick leave somewhere: he wasn't looking a bit fit when I saw him last. Laura Jakes I met in the Piccadilly one day when she greeted me as "Hello, Graham": as I didn't recognise her at first and then couldn't for the life of me remember her name it was rather embarrassing. She is working I believe in the Canadian Pay office. Betty is also engaged in some work or other. Once or twice I have seen Mrs. John Hope and Phyllis Green and spoke to Chunkie Ricketts one night in the Savoy. That place has become nothing more or less than a glorified _____ thanks to the extraordinary taste some of the Canadian officers display in their choice of the lady friends they introduce there. Pity, it used to be quite a decent pub.
