1st April 1917
“It is over 15 months now since we landed in Egypt & during that time I have never missed a day from the trenches while our Coy. was in & I have never had a single days leave. Of course we are not here for holiday-making but I reckon I have earned a few days off. If the war runs for another 12 months I am afraid I’ll be getting a bit tired of it.”
