Dear Mar & Pa

Just a line to let you know I am in the pink.  I have nearly resumed my ordinary civilian proportions after living a village life so long but I suppose we shall be living a rough life again soon.  There is really nothing to relate and we all feel ready for a change.

One of our Brigades had a route march through our village the other day and we came across Winnie and he gave us a nice salute.  He was walking evidently trying to get his weight down so everyone thought.  Well and how are you all getting along?  Glad to hear Mar & Pa are OK.  How did Gladys go on in her exam?  What has become of Lt. GG not had a word from him since I returned?  I suppose the Conscription has put the wind up a lot of them nowadays.  Turk still seems to wander away still I suppose he’s glad to get home again as his Master was at times.  Remember me to all enquiring friends

Yours  Burgy
