Dear Amy
I am getting along well. Have recently been made Corporal so you may drop the Lance (which means acting). I get ten Shillings a day now from the deffered pay and allotment.
We came out of the front line today and to get a months rest. We have seen some cold frosts and snow and rain mud etc but it’s all in the same and the Hun is about dunked. They surrender when a chance offers so it is in sight. The end of this job to our satisfaction. A chum is going to England in the morning and he will post this for me but he is moving in a few minutes so I must be Brief. I met S Monerueff a few days ago. He is doing well. I saw Dr Hamilton too. He sends Best regards to all at Palmerston. Love to all
Your affectionate Bro
Stid
