Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound British Expeditionary Force France 13/12/14 Dear Mary, I received your P C on Friday but the parcel has not yet arrived. It may be in tonight but I will tell you if I get it. We are still hopping about here. The weather is a bit wet & fairly cold today is the best I saw since long. I can hardly believe Christmas is so near and yet the weeks pass by very quickly. It will be a dull Christmas for many this time. We all got a pair of new boots last week. My old ones were pretty far through. I paid 9 ၁ to get tackels & toe plates in them here. They fairly put on to us and it is rarely we get what we want. The chap that was killed from Letters has another brother in our Coy and he never knew about his death until he saw his name in the list he is pretty cut up about it and he saw one of the [illegible] last night that knew his brother. They never mentioned it [illegible]. I hope that small parcel will come. Must close now with love to all, thank Mrs Ross from me, From Brother Dodo Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
