You were right when you say we have been busy out here just lately but I am pleased to say I am going on alright and in good health and I hope to keep so. I am pleased to here that Jack is getting on alright I had a letter from him last week. I hope Annie does not leave home and goto work, well I think she would be better at home.

32507/ 9th Batt Y & L C Coy 12 Platoon L.G.S. I.E.F. Dear Jack Just a line to let me know that I am alright and in good health. The weather here is very unsettled and we got plenty of rain.I hope you received my last letter in the green envelope. Let me know if you have.

A scan of a "green envelope". These were treasured by the troops as the letters inside weren't censored in their own unit. It meant that personal material that might be embarrassing could be included.
Ben Elton refers to them in his novel "The First Casualty" but wrongly says that the letters inside weren't censored at all. They could be censored, but not locally. BL(Click on the image to enlarge)

| Letters to Kate and Jack | | TWO letters written on Sunday 30th December 1917. The Battalion's War Diary records only that there was a church parade on that day, so he would have had the time to write. Reminder, the days in 1917 match 2007 so the 30th December was a Sunday for Harry also.
