3/6

Dear wife

I am so joyful to receive your letter. Hope the war can end as soon as possible, I got a lot things want talk to you and my daughter.

I am in the Vimy of Franc,We have been stay in the trenches for some weeks, break the enemy’s defense did not progress at all, we even can’t go over the trench, the war becomes a battle of attrition, the conditions are difficult for us, dead body rats everywhere.Everyday the gun shot and the plane flew over our heads I hear them over and over again.

I heard the Red Baron was shot down by a Canadian! I am so proud for our Canadian, I know we can do anything, and we will win the war! Also I heard German was sinking a America cruise ship, there are lot of innocent people on it, it’s so terrible!

Tomorrow also is keeping break the enemy’s defense, hope will get some possible. I am so tired, wants to get home get a shower and eats your meals, which I can back home before the Christmas. Please tell me more about you, my daughter and Canada, looking forward to your replies!
