Enduring Spirit of British Army From Belgium Letter
A Melbourne reader in Belgium September writes that the war will end within a year, with winter perhaps finishing it. He extols British artillery, ships, aeroplanes, and manpower, predicting a decisive spring offensive. The letter praises German defeat, laments critics at home, and lauds soldiers’ grim, cheerful resolve and comradeship amid Somme-like hardships.
