Just a line to let you know I am going on all right. I was pleased to hear you did receive all those letters I sent you. There is no doubt that the advance is making a great difference in the postal service.
We are out of the trenches again in reserve and tomorrow we are off to the village 3 miles behind the line for a rest which I have no doubt will include bayonet fighting and route marches with the nut tightening process.
The weather now is very cold especially at one o'clock in the morning. I think we are being issued with our underclothing this time out so you need only send me a pair of socks.
We were called out last night - thought the Germans were coming again - but there was nothing doing, although they did not half give us a dusting up with all shells and rifle fire, but they did not do any very serious damage.
Well I think I have given you all the news up to the present, so hoping all are well as it leaves me in the pink. I have just written to Joe.
Your loving brother Billie.
