CANADA BRAMSHOTT CAMP, LIPHOOK, Hants.

up but I dont know where Charley is. I guess we wont be here very long now when we will be shifting I figure in about 7 or 8 weeks. We are going on a musketry course next week. Our kilt covers have been issued to us now. They are the same as the apron in front with a larger pocket. Then the rear has a big double pleat in the middle and three single pleats facing the front on each side. I guess we will get a different head dress too possibly balmoral which is the same idea as a sailor only soft.

Say but this country is fierce for soaking us Canadians. They will short change you every time if they think you are green & they and they over charge for everything which with the war taxes makes things
