SERGEANT GUTTERIDGE STILL GOING STRONG ON CHEERFULNESS
Look like having another Christmas out here, but we live in hopes of Frits giving in before long.
Dear Sir, _ Still we live, and no complaints.
More work than worry at present.
We have been having a fairly good time these last (few) weeks, football, boxing &c., being our chief items with the regiment. We have now turned our attention to the more serious part of the programme, and are now leaving Frits with a decent few R.I.P’s thrown in as well, I trust.
Rather quiet this part of the line. A change from the part we occupied last month.
We look like having another Christmas out here, but we live in hopes of Frits giving in before long.
Yours sincerely.
J. GUTTERIDGE
