1915: 18th May - to Mother

18/5/15

Dear Mother

Just a P.C. to let you know I am well. This is a typical view of the mills around here. At present I’m at the base resting. It is a bit wet out, but the gardens look fresh and green. Please keep this P.C. for me as a souvenir.

Best love and good wishes from

Tom

Dear Alec

I want you to put this with my views. Thanks so much for the letter which I’ll answer in a few days we are at the base. The cathedral in the picture we saw when we passed through some weeks ago, it is damaged by shell fire and the windows are broken in places.

Best love from

Tom
