Private Walter Gale, Army Cyclist

I am about three miles behind the firing line and am not doing much just at present, but I don’t let us rest many days together. We are having some splendid weather here, and the country looks lovely, the people are busy getting the harvest in and gathering the fruit. One could hardly believe there was a terrible war on near, except for the roaring of the guns everything seems quite peaceful. I wrote to thank you very much for the books you sent me, I received the last ones before I left Le Harve.
