undertaking though for Great Britain & the Allies. They called for volunteer officers in our M.G. depot yesterday for Machine gun Service in Siberia, an M.G. unit is to accompany the Canadian troops that are to be sent out there. I would have sent my name in for it like a shot if I had only seen service in France, it would have been a great trip & wonderful experience to have had, besides seeing a new country. They also wanted a few officers from here to be attached to the Imperials for service on the Murman coast. I don't think anyone applied
