Dear Mack
Thank you that was an excellent reply and gives me such a better understanding of it that I can apply to my family history. I wonder what they thought of it in the trenches. No, no! I do not expect you to know the answer to that, but for those that perhaps were not so preoccupied I should think it would have given them hope that soon they would be home and doing all these boring duties as a matter of course while grumbling about the politicians of the day.
Thank you again Mack,
Kind regards,
Pat
