c/o the Signallers 18th Battalion
11 May 1915
My Dear Mother,
I got back to camp this morning and was transferred into the old battalion that I left only I am a signaller now. There are 25 of us. I know them all and a good many of the boys I used to drill with. They were pleased to see me amongst them again and lots came to my tent to have a chat after one had told them I was back in the Batt. I came down with Geo Montcrief. I will not be sailing for a fortnight or so.
So ?? I was two days overdue when I got back but didn’t get into trouble was transferred as soon as I got back.
The new officer seems a nice man. He is friendly and not officious as some of them like to be.
Love to all, Stid.
