14 Mar 1915

From: 1915 To: 1915

Mother not to worry if she sees his name in paper. "I have a bullet wound in my left thigh - only a flesh wound. It was our Brigade that took Neuve Chappelle and I got hit on the third day of a most violent battle. I can't describe it & don't want to think too much about it. I was attached to the Brigadier's staff after the first day. Casualty list will be very heavy I am afraid"
