we got about sixty three finished now. about half of them. Say but it is an awful job. the blame horses have got wool like sheep on them. it sure raises the duce with the knifes. but I guess they are like most Govt. stuff then are made for sale. and the Govt. are buying them so anything is good enough. Seen a Batt. of Hindus come in a day or so ago by the looks of things, there is going to be lots doing pretty soon. I hope we stay here for it. I would like to be in on a Big push on the start. But there is not talk yet of us going only it is about time. we are never in one place very long. we are all fixed up again I think we must be overstrength now, we had a couple more a couple of nights ago. and our bugler just came in about ten minutes ago. we thought he would make Blighty but he’s back fine and dandy with a bran new kit. Well I got to ring of for now the big eats is on. and we sure can’t miss that. If I get a chance I’ll write more before night but I wont do it after 6 p.m. Best
