with the French go to thier assistance with lots of guns & some men I always have said that the Cossacks would some day cleane the Russian of the wont fight element & there are all ready reports that they are advancing against the Leninishes. They still kill off a few germans & when we can kill them off all the faster. Dont forget Fritz has not taken a British gun for over 29 months & has only temporaly taken a bit of ground from us. We do at the proper time go after a piece of ground & we get it & hold it. So do the French & soon I hope the Yanks will be doing the same. We must be slow as in these days of deadly engins of war. It might be victory won at too great a cost as the French victory last December.
I am pleased to hear that good old Pat has made a cache with you for when the boys come home. I suspect that others also have a bit laid away. But of course it will be too great & because of the boys who will not come home too solem a day for carrousing
