Joe - Sunday 11th June 1916

Dear Janey,

I received your letter and thanks for same.  We lost a good number of men this last time in the trenches but Syd would give you all the news.  We are having a hard time of it out of the trenches this time - we are on the go from morning till night.  We had not been three days out of the trenches till we were hard at it. 

I had a letter from John.  Pleased to hear Thompson has got exemption until September, there might be  possible chance of war being over.  I've just written to Jess.  You might tell Mother I wouldn't mind a roasted cock chicken in my next parcel.  Well I've no more news at present so must close.  With love to all. 

Hoping all are well Joe.
