Rev^d T.W. Walters.

Rev^d Sir,

            Having a few moments to spare I will send you a line or two.

            First of all I want to tell you that No 1756 Pte Gibbins W whom you married a few days ago unfortunately lost his marriage lines on his way back here.

He must produce them to enable us to claim separation for his wife, and so when he reported the loss to us, I offered to write to you, and ask how it is possible to obtain a duplicate copy, I should be pleased if you will let me know as early as you can.

I expect you have heard and read of our good work just lately.  I was not actually with them, but very close behind, unfortunately we lost some good officers.

I have now received my 3^rd stripe, which was anti-date to August, so that when I was home on leave I was really a Sergt.

The weather is getting quite cold now and we have had several days rain.

At present I am feeling very fit and eating well.

I trust you are all well.

Please give my kind regards to all the members.

Must now close with very kind regards to Mrs Walters & yourself.

            Yrs obediently

Albert Will Hanson
