Private J Chamberlain, 5th Bedfordshire Regiment

I have got wounded in the left leg, but it is going on very nicely, nothing to worry about. I got it on the 26th Sept, and have been brought to Malta. We had a very nice voyage. I hope Bob and Jim are quite well. Tell them that I have stopped one, but if I don’t get any worse I shall not hurt. I am sending a photo of the hospital ship I came on. I suppose you now that Ern, Gowler and Charlie Knight are sick in hospital. I don’t know if I shall see them. I hope to come across some of my old pals. Remember me to all friends. Keep the old flag flying – Are we down hearted? No Don’t worry about me.
