c/o Northumberland Hussars Nov 19th, 1914

My darling Lola,

No more letters from you, I hope you are well and happy, please write as often as you can. We are back in the fighting line but in a rather quiet place and there are lots of troops so we don't have much to do at present.

Poor Lord Roberts died near here a few days
