Corporal S Cross

We are no longer in the firing line, and are safe from shot and shell. It does seem to be nice to be able to walk about and know you are safe. We are on an island, and sleeping under bell tents, so it is almost like camp life but isn’t quite so nice as being in England. The natives here cause plenty of fun. I went into one of the villages, nearly every house is a shop, and they understand only a few words of English, but they know how to charge for the stuff that they sell. For a pound loaf of bread they charge 6d, and always sell out. How would you like to pay for that? I am quite well.
