Dear Mum

Well Mum I have had the first

experience of war. I had two days of it before I

stoked one in the side it is not much and I wont

be long before I am back at it again. Well when I

come home again I will be able to duck and

sidestep anything after trying it on shrapnel and

bullets talk about hail storm its not half in it

it was pretty sudden when we were charging them

with the bayonet from the word go off the waters edge

by gum the lads are fighting well together. I dont

know how poor old Harry is getting on I have not seen

him since we left Lemnos Is. Mum I can't give you

every incident of the engagement now but we will

beat them thats good enough isint it. I suppose you

get plenty of lies in the papers like when we came

back to Alexandria. we got a paper and it gave a

different account altogether to what it was I will

give you a full account later on hoping this will

find all well at home  Tar, tar

XXX

Love from George

war is not what its cracked up to be but half an hour under heavy 
fire you get used to it.
