now i do not care to spend too much on Railway fares to make rich men richer & it is often the case that you cant get frn London to E e on the fast trains & soldiers leave is too valuable to use up in a train I do not like this part of Kent as well as the place I went to two 1/2 years ago. it is too flat. i have not seen much of it it is true as we are kept very bussy & do not feel much like runing around when our day is over. I was much struck with the healthy & well being appearance of the people we saw both in provinces & in London as we passed through it Others in my party also saw it when I pointed it out to them. We landed at a port after passing south of the country to which that old ex Mp of Lighting creek belongs. It was a very beautiful trip that last 15 miles. Old Blighty with all her faults is indeed well worth fighting for. I have had a roy bitter & galling experience. I have been in Clink 15 days & then found not guilty of the charges brought against me I refused duty on the ship. Had to if I was to keep myself respect & was put in close confinement & it took 5 days after I was freed in by a slimy politican from B.C. & a Dirty draft gumper fm the U.S army draft. Segt & Cpl. Rather a bitter experiance for a Loyal Englishman.
